Hi coccyx pain is one of my major symptoms, i had this first before all of the other nasty effects of PN. I can sit with the pain but when i release the pressure on standing the pain is horrendous. does this sound like what you have?

Yes it's my main symptom and I haven't found a cure. Also worse when pressure is released feels like my tailbone is broken

Hi there
Yes there there can be a assocation with the coccyx and PN it is usally overlooked , As the sacrotuberous ligament has a partial attachment to the coccyx , so if you have a dislocated coccyx etc , you can get PN now you will need to get a dynamic x-ray go to http://www.coccyx.org . There is also agood article by Til Lauchau
http://www.abmp.com/textonlymags/articl ... rticle=396 a good read about the coccyx and PN .

If the coccyxgeaus muscle is tight and hard it will push the tailbone out of place and also makes you have the feeling of a broken tailbone. A highly trained pelvic physical therapist can loosen the muscle internally via the rectum but it will take several visits.

Hi
Yes you are right in finding a very experaniced PT , that is the bigest trick , they are hard to find

I have something like PN and underwent a partial Coccygectomy. While I really happy I did it, the relief came because the bone was shaped like a tail. It did not help my PN symptoms at all; in fact, there is a cut on my rear that sometimes gets pressure/tender (or whatever happens) and really hurts because of the scar.
