Anterior angulation corrected

Dr. M, India

Posted 2022-02-27

I started having coccyx pain since I fell on stairs one year back. I had seen many orthopedic doctors in India and USA who said my MRI and xray was normal and prescribed medications. But my problem was not resolved. I was not able to sit even 15 mins. One day I happen to visit coccyx.org website and decided to see Dr.Syeda Mubashira (see Doctors and specialists in India). We had dynamic xrays taken for the first time. My coccyx was bent anteriorly 90 degrees and also had lateral tilt towards the left side.

Later she has done internal manipulation which made a lot of difference. I had immediate relief from internal muscles and ligaments stiffness. Internal manipulation was done for 5 days and appropriate exercises where also taught by her. In addition to coccyx pain I also had IT band syndrome which was also corrected my those exercises. After one month I could sit for more than 45 mins at a stretch with pillow.

After one month I was seen for the second session where the anterior angulation has been corrected to 40 degrees and even the lateral tilt is also very negligible. During this recovery, I developed some back pain which was corrected with some modifications in exercises.

Now it's been one and half month and I feel better than before. I am even able to sit without the pillow for about 15 mins. I thank Dr. Syeda from my bottom of my heart as she is the only one doctor who identified my condition and put me on right treatment plan. She is extremely knowledgeable person and very friendly doctor I have ever seen. She is very responsive to her patients and also very soft spoken. She understands pain exactly and does accurate treatment.

Note from Jon Miles:

I emailed more than a year after this story was posted, to ask for an update, as the long-term outcome of treatment is of great interest. In this case I did not get a reply.
