Yes. I broke my tailbone as a child and it never healed properly. Now I have problems with it constantly.
Do you have pain and pressure and also leg pain?
I've heard of that before. I don't know if that's what is happening with me.

Sometimes I get pain going down the backs of my legs. It feels like nerve pain. Stretching and doing specific exercises is the only thing that helps. I highly suggest seeing a good qualified chiropractor

I've only had trouble with it twice. One was after a fall and the other from sitting on a hard chair for hours each day doing factory work years ago but both resolved. Do either of those fit your situation? I *think* there can be arthritis there, too.
Thank you. I have a PCP appointment on Wednesday. Yes that's where my leg pain is too. I'll look into a chiropractor. My PCP may know a good one.
Well I do a lot of sitting but try to get up and walk and do things. I'm sure I may have arthritis in my tail bone and back and other places. Thank you.

My late husband had 'Tailbone pain' one month before his passing. He did not have 'leg pain.'
Tailbone is last part of Spine which Ortho.doctor dealing with. Also, leg-pain sounds related to Spine.
I have left-leg pain originating from Spine. I've been on rx.med to alleviate it, but it's pretty hard to eliminate the pain. I don't have 'tail-pain,' but 'mild back pain' which also originating from spine.
My ortho.doctor told me I have arthritis in spine that causing left leg pain, now more 'numbness' in my left leg.

I broke mine going down a waterslide and it's never been right since. Banged it up again several years ago slipping on a pool ladder (stay away from water....). It likes to remind me that it's there quite often.
Funny story: a boss had to have a cyst removed from his tailbone and when they biopsied it, it had teeth inside....well, not exactly teeth per se, but chunks of dental material. Apparently the cyst was made up of gum tissue and it was busy trying to make teeth. Talk about something biting you in the ass... The human body is an amazing thing!

It's good to know 'ice' help, but pain keeps coming back, I suggest Orthopetic doctor who specialized Spine, sine tailbone is a last part of spine.
I've been with Ortho.doctor for the past 15 years or more for my spine condition, arthritis and some back pain. Medications rx'ed by him is excellent.
This is my first time having this tail bone problem. I've had it over 2 weeks. We'll see how it goes. I visit my doctor tomorrow.

A former co-worker had a similar biopsy from a breast cyst.
