9 years of pain

Posted 2008-03-23

I have been living with coccyx and sacrum pain for 9 years. I have been to every kind of doctor imaginable. I have had chiropractic external and internal manipulation, electro therapy, physical therapy, cortisone and epidural shots, all kind of meds and just about everything except surgery. I am trying to find a surgeon in the Northwest Arkansas area that will perform the surgery, but no luck yet.

If anyone out there knows of one around here please inform me. I am to the point of absolute desperation because of this excruciating pain that never goes away even for a second.

Well thanks to this web site I have finally been able to get some relief after 9 long years. I have been getting Bowen therapy, taking Glucosamine and vitamin B6, and I received two piriformis injections (one on each side). I had the second piriformis shot on Wednesday and I must say that I can hardly feel my tailbone. I don't know how long this will last, but at this point I am grateful for any relief.

I am so thankful for this web site, because without it I would never have known about the piriformis issue. I hope everyone can finally get to bottom of their problem and find relief - I am praying for all of us who suffer with this awful problem.
