PAIN Q & A

Q. My tailbone hurts when I sit down or ride in a car. What can I do? Can you help me?

A. Tailbone pain (coccyxdynia) is a relatively common problem, sometimes caused by childbirth, falling down or trauma. The cause is undetermined in approximately 35% of cases. Treatment can be accomplished with anti-inflammatory medication or a single injection. A proper diagnosis and treatment is key. Sitting down without pain - now that's worth a visit to the Pain Clinic and a board certified pain physician. Call the physicians at Kalamazoo Anesthesiology Pain Clinic - relief is just a phone call away.
