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 commented on the coccyx.
Ask your doctor to point to the coccyx on the images. It may not be there!
