Stigma Against Patients with Coccyx Pain (Tailbone Pain)
Below is a link to my publication titled, “Stigma Against Patients with Coccyx Pain.”
It was published in 2010 in Pain Medicine, which is a medical journal for physicians who specialize in treating pain.
The reason why I wrote this was to inform pain physicians of the stigma that often faces patients who suffer from tailbone pain.
