Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Yes I have tailbone pain for over the past year. I m getting ready to have surgury by Dy Michael Wright. I was wondering if this is considered an out patient procedure or do they keep you a day or two. I have had 4 lower back surguries will the pain be as bad as those back surgieries were?
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.
