Tail bone pain: What can I do?

Hi Suerc, I have suffered for 3 years with this pain. I was too embarrassed to tell the doctor. I have cervical injuries where I have had 2 fusions. Also injuries to my lower back. Now I have issues with the thoracic spine. I have had procedures for my cervical and lower spine to burn the nerves. I can't remember how to spell it at this time. They had worked for about five years. I might look into it again. I was going for it last year but ended up hospitalized then fractured a long bone in my foot and it was in a cast for 4 months. I would recommend having a consult with a pain management doctor to see if the could help you.

You sound just like me. So sorry for you. I started out with CPRS in my left calf and ankle from a car accident. Then spinal stenosis of my cervical spine. With surgery. Many injections for that. No I get Rafio frequencies. They last for 6 mo. Then shattered my L4 in the boat. They wanted to do a 4 level fusion. I said no, I wanted to to wait 1 yr and see what I have. So far I am glad I havn't. I have heard of so failed fusions. I am walking taking care of 4 grandchildren. Yes I have pain. I try to stay away from pain meds because of the kids. I have been thru 3 pain clinics. Not because of drugs or behavior. Last on they decided I was not in there network. New manager. Had been going there for 13 yrs. I have open access and my Dr referred Mr there. So I had to look for a new clinic. With chronic pain like us changing is not that easy. They all want to try new things , change meds. It's so frustrating. Prayers to you
