[|Human|] My son is complaining of tailbone pain 2 days now with no precipitating factors. No swelling, no bruising, no redness. No pilionidal cyst or open areas. Painful if touched or any bearing down. Also hurts to sit, worse on soft pillow. He had surgery for a benign tumor in his foot in 2011 I wonder if it could be similar?
[|AI|]  Welcome to Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and understand your concern. This is called coccyxdynia. Treatment of it is avoided sitting on hard objects, hot sits bath and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. In hot sits bath patients are advised to seat in warm water for 10 minutes evening and morning for few weeks. For further investigation you can go for MRI lumbosacral spine. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you. Wishing you a good health. Take care.
