Hi Blizzaga - Great questions! I can't remember any significant traumatic event other than a very bump boat ride. No major falls or anything like that. The pain management Dr and I looked at the x-rays. He did think that my tailbone was oddly shaped, almost a 90 degree turn in about halfway down, but he didn't think it looked any different from the x-rays one year ago when I felt fine.
He is planning on giving me a numbing shot directly at the angle of my tailbone where it turns inward. If that helps, he wants to freeze the nerve in the area.
I agree, I do think it would be odd that the prodisc could cause actual coccyx pain. If the disc had subsided, wouldn't there be pain in the bottom vertebrae or the sacrum? Seems odd that the pain would skip all of that bone and manifest in the coccyx.
Great to hear from you. Thanks again for the insight.
