You have not mentioned what type of surgery is planed. Have you already tried steroid injection. This drug is used to decrease inflammation of tail bone and it can be given as opd procedure. If your doctor is planning to excise that abnormal bone than it can not be a day care procedure but it will not be as bad as other spine surgery.
