Wedge cushions have the hole or cut-out at the edge. It is usually a wedge-shaped cut-out (like a small, triangle-shaped slice removed from a a square pie). The goal is for the painful tailbone to ‘hover’ over the cut-out, so that you are not putting as […] I have thousands of tailbone pain patients… LESS THAN 1% HAVE CANCER as the cause. BUT… it is important to SCREEN for cancer since CHORDOMA tends to occur at the sacrum/coccyx and unfortunately is often FATAL within a few years of diagnosis. MRI needs to be ordered properly and done properly to assess for […] There are many causes of coccyx pain (tailbone pain, coccydynia). This article will focus on coccyx pain being caused by the lower coccyx being in extension, which is called a pseudo-spur. NORMAL COCCYX POSITION = FLEXION: Normally, the coccyx position has a mild, gradual forward flexion. This means that the coccyx is flexed forward. […] What is a bone spur? A bone spur is thickening of the bone. Just like you can get a callous on your hands or feet from thickening of the skin, you can also get thickening of bone in certain places in your body.

Dislocations = due to sprained or torn ligaments. Fractures = a break in the actual bones. The VAST majority of the time when a new patient tells me […] I was recently contacted by a woman who had undergone a coccygectomy (which is surgical amputation/removal of the coccyx/tailbone). Her question was whether, after having undergone coccygectomy, it would or would not be advisable for her to undergo a cesarean section rather than a vaginal delivery for any subsequent pregnancy. Perhaps you, the reader, […] A standard “Lumbar” or “Lumbosacral” MRI does NOT include the COCCYX. The most common MISTAKE that I see when patients have an MRI done for coccydynia (tailbone pain) is that the MRI does NOT even include the coccyx! Often, the wrong MRI is ordered/done. Look at the radiology report and see if they even […] The “Tail-BONE” is NOT just ONE BONE: The word TAILBONE is MISLEADING since it implies that it is one, singular bone. In reality, the tailbone (coccyx) is made of 3-to-5 boneS (plural). It is less common for all of these bones to be fused. Tailbone Pain Tip 5, the Coccyx is 3-5 bones, not […] |
