Ross, thanks for the detailed write up. We don't see many coccyx patients in the spine boards. In the more than 1,000 cases I've handled, off the top of my head, I can only recall 4 clients with serious Coccyx issues. The outcomes are not positive.
One of the clients had the nerves going to the coccyx ablated following a successful diagnostic injection. The ablation made him much worse. There is a possibility that a partial ablation is worse than no ablation. The doctor discussed redoing it, but the patient was gunshy and elected not to try another ablation.
It seems very positive that you had such significant relief. Did the doctor say it is common to have the relief follow the injection by more than 2 weeks. You asked that in your write up, but didn't mention how the doctor answered it.
Please keep us posted here. Yours is an interesting case and the detail you provide is great.
Good luck!
Mark
