What Causes Persistent Pain In The Tailbone While Sitting?
Hi,For about a week now my daughter has had pain by her tailbone when sitting. There is no external bruising. She has no memory of a specific fall in which she injured herself but she is a dancer and does fall at times when practicing. She has been fine going about daily activities but isn t comfortable when sitting. I will try ibuprofen based on other responses I read.Thank you!

As per your history please do MRI scan to pinpoint the cause of pain.Avoid prolonged sitting (eg, long car or airplane rides), bike riding, horseback riding, and canoeing.If conservative way it does not heat a minor surgical treatment needed.(Thanks)
