Last week I was a “Visiting Professor” speaking on the topic of “Tailbone Pain (Coccyx Pain): Causes and Treatments” at Carolinas Medical Center, in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Coming soon… my book on Tailbone Pain! It’s called: Tailbone Pain Relief Now! Causes and Treatments for Your Sore or Injured Coccyx
I’ve worked on/off on this book for more than 10 years, and finally this past year I put in hundreds of hours to make it a reality. I’ve never written an entire book before (only individual chapters or articles in other books or medical journals). This was a big undertaking for me. But I know there is a need because although I publish and lecture for doctors and yet it never trickles down to enough of them. So this book is written to empower the actual patients who are suffering with tailbone pain (coccyx pain). The goal is to help as many people as possible. 30 chapters, all about the coccyx, including causes of pain, tests, and treatments. It should be out by June 2015. More information to follow… It is a shame when people are left suffering in pain for years without the doctor ever even getting imaging studies to look at the painful area. For tailbone pain (coccyx pain), it is unfortunately very common that people suffer for years without their doctors getting any imaging test to look at the painful area. Typically these medical imaging tests include x-rays and MRI. The images help reveal the cause of pain: in some cases it is cancer, in other cases it’s excessive mobility, in other cases it’s a bone spur, in other cases it’s arthritis, etc. The treatment for each of these would be different. -Patrick Foye, M.D. There are many reasons why tailbone pain (coccyx pain) can initially occur (or worsen if it is already present) during pregnancy.

Not every disability is visible. Many people with tailbone pain and other pelvic floor pain syndromes don’t “look” ill. To the outside observer, they do not see any sling on your arm or cast on your leg. Yet the tailbone pain can be severe. The injured coccyx can be so sore that you are unable to sit down even to eat a meal at the table or drive to work (let alone sit at a computer desk for an eight hour work day).

Typical MRI and CT scans are normally done in a horizontal position (while you are lying down). These tests can provide helpful information, BUT in MANY cases the tailbone will look normal while someone is lying down but will be clearly abnormal/dislocated while the person is sitting with her body weight onto the tailbone. MRI can be done while sitting, but usually only the “open” MRI facilities can do this and unfortunately those “open” MRI machines typically have a weaker magnets strength which gives a lower quality image. So x-rays done while sitting are often a better way to go if the goal is to diagnose unstable joints of the coccyx (coccygeal dynamic instability).
