A few days ago, I noticed that my tailbone was starting to hurt, which was weird because I havent fallen or hurt it at all. Today I noticed in addition to the tailbone pain, there is also a painful bump on my left butt cheek. It hurts to sit as well.
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Tail bone pain can be due to musculoskeletal pathology. Stress or strain in the muscles of the back can cause such localized pain. A CT or MRI of the backbone is required to look for any lesion of the bone or the surrounding muscles. A painful bump on the buttock is commonly due to folliculitis or fur uncle (boil). However, a clinical examination is required to know the exact nature of the lesion. Management can be planned after clinical examination. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
