hi i have been exercising a lot lately and noticed a bruise on the very bottom of my spine. when i touched it i felt a raised bone. if i run a finger down my spine this bone is slightly off to the right just above the the center of my backside. i guess its my tailbone but should it be protruding (under the skin) and slightly off to the right?? thank you
HI, Thank you for providing the brief history of you. As you mentioned you been exercising a lot lately, and you have pain in the Tail bone. This could be due to any strain whicChatDoctore to the joint. Have you performed any exercise like squatting? Also, have you got any injury in the past in the spine? There will be a lot of questions raising in the mind before we help you further. Are you having any localized pain in the tail bone or are you having any pain radiating to down the legs? To solve the mystery of all, I will recommend you to take up an X-ray or an MRI which will help see the bony alignment and also the soft tissue status. You can even undergo for physical therapy, by use of therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy pain can be taken into control. Also, if the x-ray or MRI reveals anything in particular than based on that the next plan can be made for making you at ease. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
