What Causes Tailbone Pain, Numbness And Pain In Toes?

My husband has been having pretty significant tailbone pain for the last several weeks. I thought maybe he had developed a cyst on his tailbone. But today when he got home from work, he was complaining about numbness and slight pain in his toes. Could this be related? What might be causing these symptoms?

hi
this is the pain radiating from the sacral bone pain , as the same nerve supplies both the areas.

it is better to evaluate the specific cause with MRI lumbo-sacral region, to rule out for any cyst, soft tissue swelling, any nerve compression.

please meet a neurophysician or an orthopaedic surgeon

all the best, take care
