I didn't do anything to my tailbone, one day it just decided to hurt! I am 24, and have been in pain for 9 months now, and am getting more and more worried that it won't heal in time for my wedding (and flying for my honeymoon!), which is 9 months from today. It's starting to really get me down now, I'm in a lot of pain and can't see an end to it.
I have been bugging various GP's in my area (North Cumbria, England) and have finally found one that takes me seriously (after being pretty much ignored by 4 others who had no idea how to treat it, and all suggested doughnut cushions which obviously don't keep the coccyx elevated!).
I had an x-ray which showed nothing wrong with my coccyx, just the pain. I have already had an unsuccessful cortisone injection, and he has now referred me to physiotherapy, I think he was hinting that ultrasound might help, I will wait and see! Has anyone else had ultrasound treatment, and did it do any good?
I am sitting on cushions that keep me elevated off my seat everywhere, but I would love to be able to sit up on a sofa like a normal person!
