The video below will summarize in less than one minute the difference between coccyx pain (tailbone pain) versus sacroiliac joint pain. The biggest thing is that the coccyx is right at the midline versus the sacroiliac joint which is off to either side right or left. Also, the coccyx is significantly lower than the […] MANY coccyx pain patients tell me that their Doctors NEVER EVEN EXAMINED (touched / palpated) their coccyx. This happens all the time! It’s BIZARRE! IMAGINE someone treating your thumb without ever examining it. Unthinkable! Clinicians (primary care, pain or musculoskeletal specialists, P.T.’s, etc.) should EVALUATE THE SITE OF PAIN! Patients DESERVE proper […] I recently watched a video about the middle cluneal nerve as a possible cause of coccyx pain, tailbone pain, coccydynia. I think that this is possible, but probably very uncommon. I sometimes treat cluneal nerve pain. It is relatively common to have pain from the SUPERIOR cluneal nerve after bone is harvested from the iliac […] Fibromyalgia is a very interesting and complex topic in relationship to coccyx pain… Fibromyalgia can worsen the symptoms of coccyx pain: On the one hand, people with fibromyalgia have diffuse/widespread pain throughout multiple areas throughout the body.

Genital symptoms may include pain, numbness […] Below is a very good video where a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist explains palpation of the sacrospinous ligament on physical exam. The sacrospinous ligament (SSL) is a connective tissue structure that spans from the sacrum to the ischial spine, hence the name sacrospinous (i.e., sacro – spinous). However, despite being called the “sacrospinous” ligament, this […] Sometimes, Coccyx Pain (Tailbone Pain) can be Caused by a Pilonidal Cyst… A “cyst” is a collection of fluid. Think of it being like a tiny water balloon. A pilonidal cyst is a particular type of cyst that contains not only fluid but also hair and other debris. The most common location for a pilonidal […] Can tailbone problems cause neck pain? Some tailbone problems can cause people to also have pain or stiffness in their neck. The most common form of this is due to abnormal sitting (sitting leaning forwards or to the right or left side, which is done to take pressure off the tailbone). A much less common […] Coccyx pain (tailbone pain) can sometimes cause people to also have pain or stiffness in the hip region. Here’s a recent video on this topic. To reveal the video, click on the image or on the link below: Video on Hip pain with Tailbone pain Click here for the VIDEO on Hip Pain […] A few months ago I wrote about “Do Tarlov Cysts cause Pain?” Today’s question is: How to Distinguish between Sacral Tarlov Cyst Pain and Tailbone Pain Usually it is not difficult to tell these conditions apart.
