[|Human|] Hi there, I have extreme pain and pressure feeling in my tailbone area as well as my right lower back. I have had an Xray, MRI and bone scan and nobody can see anything wrong. I have had this pain for about 8 months and it is not getting any better only worse? Please help.
[|AI|]  It might be coccydynia since pressure is coming on tail bone apply ice pack for 10-15 mins twice dailyApplying heat or a hot pack to the area after the first few days. Avoiding sitting for prolonged periods, or placing any pressure on the area, as much as possible. A custom pillow to help take pressure off the coccyx when sitting. Some find a donut-shaped pillow works well, and for others it is not the right shape and still puts pressure on the coccyx. Many prefer a foam pillow that is more of a U-shape or V-shape (with the back open so nothing touches the coccyx). Any type of pillow or sitting arrangement that keeps pressure off the coccyx is ideal. If the tailbone pain is caused or increased with bowel movements or constipation, then stool softeners and increased fiber and water intake is recommended. Avoid forward bending avoid Chat Doctor.  Gently stretching the ligaments attached to the coccyx can be helpful. A physical therapist, chiropractor, physiatrist or other appropriately trained healthcare practitioner can provide instruction on the appropriate stretches. Ultrasound. Physical therapy with ultrasound can also be helpful for pain relief. Mild manipulation will also help stake care hope you get better soon follow this
