Hi Harrison - thanks for the reply and also all you do for this site. There wasn't any report that I'm aware of. The x-rays are done "in-house" by the surgeon. I have x-rays from one-year post op (felt great) then one year later (on set of pain) and one month ago (feeling worse).
When you state impinging on a nerve- do you mean at the L5-S1 area? As Philly Joe stated, I should probably try to get a CT scan for a better diagnostic of that area.
Looking at the handy dermatome chart you provided - the pain is definitely in the S2 and S3 area. After I have been sitting for a little while, I can press in that area up against the bone (sitting bones for lack of a better term ) and it will light up. I'm starting to think this is a different issue than the pain on and around my coccyx.
Can the L5-S1 nerve roots refer pain to this area?
