Pain in coxis(sp?) lower back, can anything be done??

[astonished]

Have really bad pain in my coxis am in agony and have been on and off for about three weeks, was thinking about going to the doctors but wondered if there is anything they can do other than prescribe pain relief which I amtaking anyway. Haven't done anything to cause this pain so am a bit confused as to why its started but it is driving me mad, can anyone help??

anyone, it really is hurting

Are you preg? I had terrible pain there during pregnancy but was told it was down to pelvis adjusting for birth. Otherwise you could maybe try an osteopath?

Hi no not pregnant, I may try an osteopath but am quite poor at the mo, would a GP refer me?

I was given steriod injections for the same a few years back - but I had fallen and had a known injury which I was in agony with for 8 weeks before the injections. Doc also said only 50/50 it will work in that area.

It did for me and in fact I had another 3 months later but the injections themself are painful.

Hope you feel better soon.

I fell on my bum 2 weeks ago and hurt my coccyx so I sympathise! My GP today suggested that a physiotherapist might help but have yet to make the appointment.

Have you got a cushion on your pc chair?

Try heat and/or ice pack - I had this after birth of ds and still suffer occasionally if I sit awkwardly for any length of time, especially in a car.
