Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
You are having pain around tailbone(coccyx ) and possible causes may be 1. Inflammation around coccyx 2. Formation of bursa. Since you have not met with trauma possibility of fracture is remote but I would like to advise Xray of sacrum anteroposterior and lateral views to rule out bony abnormalities. Meanwhile use tyre tube filled with air for sitting or soft pillow. Take tab diclofenac plus serratiopeptodase combination twice a day for pain relief. If this treatment is not beneficial local depomedrol injection under c arm guidance is very helpful. Please consult expert orthopaedic surgeon nearby your area and get yourself examined. All the best.
