re: Open season.... Anyone ever had chronic pain of their coccyx ? (tailbone)

Don't get caught up in the why? It could be many things. The inflammation on MRI just localizes the problem to the cocyx itself. Injections would be a possible next step. Don't be afraid to ask the doc for them or to discuss it. It is not a very common problem so the ortho might not treat it a lot. I would image it would need to be injected with ultrasound or X-ray assistance. I would avoid the surgery until you have tried all other options. Its not commonly done, has risks, and may not make you better.
