Steriod block
hi Gail, I'm so sorry you are having this type of pain. I was thrown in a dancing accident and landed on my tailbone and had many rough years with this. Did you specifically get a caudal block? After a number of years, my tailbone pain moved three inches up which made a huge difference. Try to never sit on anything hard and try different back pillows to sit on where the tailbone area is cut out so your tailbone is not on top of anything. Lately, Im doing monster experiments with all kinds of pillows and support systems (especially in a car or plane). These things are really helping me.
