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 this.
MRI is especially important if the coccyx pain is not responding to the usual treatments.
There are also other pelvic cancers to screen for, including cancers of the rectum / colon, uterus, ovaries, cervix, bladder, prostate, etc. Those cancers often involve assessment by specialists such as Gynecologists, Gastroenterologists, Colorectal specialists, Urologists, etc.
