Hi Ross
I had a bad fall where a hematoma was found on sacrum. Since then i had nerve pain, hip, piriformis, groin spasms.. The worst is my foot numbness. I cant run for too long without noticing.. i hope my nerve heals, I hear it takes 2 yrs..so far the nerve pain has subsided but whenever i am on a plane/car for too long, it really painful. i had to stand up or lay down for a few..  I wonder did you land on your buttocks? is the only way to hurt the coccyx

Have not sat down for a meal in 12 years
Ross, I sympathize with you because I know how it feels. Mine started with that bad fall on the ice in 2001. Coincidently I ruptured my L4-5 disc from that same fall. I'm not 100% the coccyx pain is from the fall or not but it has inhibited me all these years. I can only drive with the aid of cushions w/ cutouts for about 20 minutes, but I've even stopped driving at all now with my back woes. I had a specialist from NJ (Patrick Foye aka Dr Tailbone) diagnose me with a severely dislocated coccyx in 2009. Prior to that for 8 years I had numerous orthopedic surgeons basically tell me it was in my head. Even with Foye's diagnosis I had no real options, I was not going to entertain a coccygectomy. Recently, I figured since I am having lumbar surgery with Dr Zeegers I had him take a look at my xrays etc of the coccyx and even he is not sure what the actual pain source is. One thing he did say though is that he strongly disagreed with the dislocation diagnosis by Foye. All I can say is and I know this won't help you, that I have just learned to live with it and my true friends understand that - and I no longer feel embarrassed about it during social get togethers etc. I used to think it was the worst thing in the world but my lumbar pain really put things in perspective. With the grace of God, perhaps it will somehow be fixed with my lumbar surgery with Dr Zeegers.
“I cried because I had no shoes. Then I met a man who had no feet.” Hang in there
