Someone recently asked me whether it was possible for someone to have coccyx pain being caused by TWO different causes in the same patient.
- Yes, it is certainly possible for patients to have more than one location of coccyx problem.
- For example, I frequently see patients who have both the most common cause of coccyx pain (hypermobility, diagnosed by sitting-versus-standing x-rays) and they may ALSO have the 2nd most common cause of coccyx pain, which is a bone spur at the distal/lowest tip of the coccyx.
- Or, some patients may have pain being caused by hypermobility or other abnormalities at TWO different joints within the coccyx, not just one joint.
- Or, a patient may have arthritis at the upper coccyx, and tables for at the lower coccyx.
- Other combinations are also possible.
- The best way to help figure all this out is to have a thorough and thoughtful medical evaluation by a physician who is experienced at evaluating and treating coccydynia (coccyx pain, tailbone pain).
