Does anyone have experience with coccydynia? I've had it for four years but I've had other troubles that required my attention first. Now that those other problems are quiet, I need to get help to sit. I've used a coccyx seat for years and it just seems to press on the areas that are sore. I don't know if it's better with or without the cushion. The Mayo web page listed a specialist in the Pelvic Floor Dysfunction clinic, which is no longer available?? So my PCP referred me to gynecology. It sounds like they'll check me for reproductive issues and then send me to the pain management clinic for a group session. My doctor wants me to get a steroid injection. So I'm having to go out of my network for a caudal block. And then she's sending me to the Midwest Tailbone Treatment Center. Am I wasting my time going to gynecology?

Hi, @harleymama - You'll notice I moved your post here to an existing discussion in the Chronic Pain group where many members are talking about pain. If you click on VIEW & REPLY in your email notification, you will see the whole discussion and can join in, meet, and participate with other members talking about their or their loved ones' experiences.

Hoping that @psearby17 @ursweetpam @sandytoes14 @jfsherley @wsh66 will have some thoughts for you on how to solve the problem with sitting with coccydynia, as well as any input on getting steroid injections. They may also have some thoughts on the suggested visit to Gynecology.

Have you found anything that led to relief at any point in your last four years with this condition, @harleymama?

Hi @harleymama! I've gotten steroid/cortisone injections too and the caudel block but haven't had any luck with them. I am sending you positive thoughts that this works for you. My body likes to be odd so don't pay any attention that it did not work for me. Here many positive thoughts for you! Susan
