In the news…
A United States military veteran with tailbone pain (also called coccyx pain, or coccydynia) turned out to have cancer and infection (a pus-filled abscess) in the tailbone region.
This shows the importance of proper medical care and thorough medical work-up.

My heart goes out to this veteran for the medical and personal challenges that he is facing.
