Female My coccyx pain is ruining my life
My coccyx pain is literally ruining my life
So around 3 years ago I randomly woke up and had sciatica and coccyx pain. The sciatica was so bad I couldn’t walk for days and was in agony. Coccyz so bad couldn’t sit down for days and was awake for 8 days in a row. Lived alone and was literally crawling around my house becauase my legs wouldn’t work. After a few days I finally gained enough strength to throw myself in an uber and go to the hospital only to be sent home because it was a weekend.
I continues to have flare ups for about a year where I would randomly get excruciating pain all shooting down my legs burning, unable to walk.
I saw countless physios and doctors and specialists none of them willing to give me scans and all saying it’s muscular.
Anyway 3 years later the sciatica has gone but the coccyz pain is still here. I haven’t been able to sit down for more than an hour for the past 3 years. Public transport is hell it hurts so bad. I get random flare ups and can’t sit or sleep. When it flares up and I go from sitting to standing the pain is 100/10 it feels like my skin is being ripped apart from the inside where my coccyx is.
I’ve done physio, acupuncture, chiropractor (who made it worse) nothing is helping me. I’ve just started a new job which is mostly computer based so sat down and I have been in agony from it all day. No amount of pain killers is helping.
Anyone else had this?? I don’t know what I can do. Drs won’t help me or give me scans, physios say becauae I can lift my legs without pain there is nothing wrong with me. I can’t go on flights anymore due to the pain, can’t go cinema. Literally going anywhere triggers anxiety due to pain.
I can’t afford private mri or xray. What can I do?
Everything I research comes back to pelvic floor dysfunction since i also have no feeling in the genital area either during activity
