Coccydynia - Tailbone Pain Treatment
Coccydynia is typically first treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications. Your doctor may recommend that you sit on a donut shaped pillow to help relieve tailbone pressure. It may take several weeks or months for the pain to decrease.
For persistent or severe pain, your doctor may prescribe pain medications. Local medication injections are used to place numbing and anti-inflammatory medications near the source (joint or bursa) of the pain. Nerve blocks are used to interrupt a nerve’s ability to transmit pain signals. Your doctor may gently move (manipulate) the coccyx after you receive a pain relieving injection. You may be referred to physical therapy for gentle stretching. Ultrasound therapy may be used, which soothes pain with warmth. If treatments fail to relieve symptoms, surgery may be used to remove a portion of the coccyx (coccygectomy). The short outpatient surgery is successful for relieving symptoms for most people. However, surgery is very rarely used.
