What Causes Sharp Pain In Lower Back And Tailbone?

So, I have a sharp pain in my lower back near my hips and tailbone that is normally there in certain positions while trying to sit up from bed from alike positions. I have had several x-rays and MRI scans, but they have yet to narrow down what the possibilities could be. I have scoliosis, however, they say that scoliosis alone cannot cause pain. I am not however hold enough to have spinal stenosis according to my age. When I sit up from bed I will be stuck in periods of sharp pain and temporary paralysis when my legs and back create certain angles.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain there can be a number of reasons for pain in tailbone and hips and few common causes are Coccydynia [inflammation of tailbone], sciatica, traumatic injury, nerve damage, Sarcoilitis, pilonidal cysts etc..
I would suggest you to consult an Orthopedician and get evaluated and as you have already got MRI scan and xrays done you can get them evaluated for the diagnosis..
You can be advised to take painkillers like Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen, muscle relaxants like Chloxzoxasone, physiotherapy to relieve tensed muscles, massage with medicated pain relieving oils can help..
You should also avoid long sitting sessions, bend a little forwards while sitting, try loose weight if obese..


Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
