Buttock/tailbone pain, sitting or lying down - symptom of PMR?

I also have osteoarthritis etc from an accident. Do you have a recent MRI & X-ray. I think accupunture ,physical therapy, massage are all safer. Also there is spinal alignment centers approved for insurance. I think chiropractor could be risky if your neck is involved. Please check with your rheumatologist as this is just my opinion.

A chiropractor can help. If your chiropractor does not take or request an x-ray move on to another. I made the mistake of trusting mine to know what he was doing. Little did I know at the time I had pinched nerves from my L1 and L5, plus bulging discs from spinal disc disease. Coincidently creating sciatic nerve pain down my legs the same day I was diagnosed with PMR. Needless to say he was cracking my back against pinched nerves and pressing out bulging discs. I ended up sleeping upright in my recliner for 8 months. I could not lie down for over 1 hour at bed time. My rheumatologist ordered an MRI that discovered the pinched nerves . I then needed to see a Physiotherapist to repair the chiropractor damage.
