Sacral Pain, Twist In Spine. X-ray, MRI Done. Due To Hernia Operation Done Earlier?
Hi, I have been having sacral pain for 5 weeks now, and have got a twist in my spine which causes me to bend to the right when I bend forwards. I have had an x-ray and an MRI, neither of which explain either of the above. I explained to the DR that I had had a large hernia operation 10mths ago and could that be causing any of the issues. Apparently the radiologist did not investigate that area, as the Dr did not ask him to. I still feel mild pain when I cough or sneeze in the coccyx area, though it has lessened following weeks of myotherapy, osteo and acupuncture. What do you suggest?

Hi, it appears that it might be an arthritis, which is causing the pain. I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe neurotropic injections, for 10 consecutive days, and one injection every week. and pain killers when ever there is pain. thank you.
