I fell on my coccyx August 2019, the pain was excruciating. I could no longer walk or climb the stairs. I could no longer do my daily activities and of course sitting down is a nightmare.

Of course I saw doctors but they misdiagnosed me, then they treated me with inflammatory drugs but in vain. The pain remained the same.

I went through episodes of depression. I did research on the internet for a coccyx specialist, I came across the clinic Sayer and doctor Michael (see Doctors and specialists in the UK, London). I don't regret coming to see him. The first session I felt a clear improvement.

I advise you not to be afraid of internal manipulations, Michael is a very competent doctor and knows how to put people at ease. I have come to 10% now I am almost at 70% and I intend to finish my treatment to achieve 90% or 100% healing. I also did physiotherapy sessions with Karoline, she is very gentle and very competent and very attentive to her patients.

Finally I advise all those who suffer from coccyx to come to see the Doctor Michael Durtnall because you will not regret. For me the doctor Michael is a rare gem in medicine that god keeps and protects him

It's been a year since I posted my story. I wanted to see Michael again to finish my treatment but because of the covid I couldn't come because I don't live in the UK.

I'm much better after my treatment, I can travel in the car for hours, but of course always with my cushion. I can run a little, something that I couldn't do before. I have pains in the piriformis muscle from time to time but with the massage it's OK. I am now between 85 and 90% pain free.

I am very grateful to my doctor Michael, he is a real expert in his field. Hoping that all goes well with this covid I will come back to finish my treatment trying to reach 100%. Thank you for this site which made us know the best doctors, who knew how to relieve our pain and give us back the joy of living.
