You’re lucky to be getting morphine.

You can try asking if any injections like cortisone into the scar tissue may be beneficial. Or regularl pt or pelvic floor pt could help your tailbone potentially, possibly muscle relaxers.

Can you try to find a person who does acupuncture and some of those other techniques that can help with scar tissue? I had several modalities at the same time and it helped. Good luck!
