my wife started having pains at base of spine and discovered that she had somehow broken the tip of her tailbone completely. Surgery was done removing the broken portion and this seemed to resolve the matter but about a year later the base of spine where tailbone was previously became extremely painful. Numerous injections by Pain Management doctor resulted in no help. Chiropractor told her this was result of scar tissue. Have tried endless massage on the area to break up the scar tissue with little success. Any suggestions???
Hi there, thanks for your question. Pain at the base of Spine is literally a pain for both treating physician and patient.It is k kwn to come back again and again. One of the most helpful ways to reduce pain is to use coccyx cushion which is horse shoe shaped and helps relive pressure on tail bone when seated. Make sure it is used every time u sit irrespective of the social situation. Also lying down on the sides can help reduce the pressure.Injections help when pain cycyle is on the peak, otherwise pain killer medicines should help.Hope this answers your question. All the best .Regards. Dr.SBK
