  • I have had this pain around my tailbone for a week now. I played basketball a week ago and I started feel pain around my coccyx or sacrum. I don't remember falling down so maybe it was from before that event or sudden movements while playing sports. I am going to rest for a week or so and if there is still pain I will go see a chiropractor.

  • @TheLiveInfinity Noted. If the pain persists, it is definitely a good idea to get it checked out. If you are looking for a nonsurgical physician, you may want to see if there are a musculoskeletal/sports-medicin­e PM&R physician in your geographic area (physiatrist = a physician specializing in PM&R: physical medicine and rehabilitation). Wishing you well.

  • mine goes away when i clean my butt w/ peroxide. ever heard of this? still has a lot of tendency to come back when sitting down.

  • PLISKEN12: ask your doctor whether you have a pilonidal cyst.

  • How to tell if you have pelvis pain?, don't you mean fractured/broken pelvis, but either than that i broke my coccyx

  • zupanata: the coccyx is part of the pelvis, so some pelvic fractures involve the coccyx but many do not. All the best.

  • can your tailbone move to the side if you but too much pressure on it? 

  • Ok, I am finally getting caught up on answering some of the comments, but for some reason my replies are not pairing up with the comments they are replying to. Oh, well.

  • As the my other videos point out, make sure that your doctors confirm that the site on the xrays or MRI actually include the site where you have your pain. It is VERY common that they do NOT include the tailbone (coccyx) at all. Wishing you well.

  • For many patients, running/walking are not nearly as problematic as sitting, but there are always exceptions.

  • The pain sounds really bad. It's been a while since you posted this, so hopefully things are doing better. If not, defitely you should seek treatment, since this is clearly compromising your quality of life. All the best.
