I can sit again

My pain with my coccyx began over 15 years ago, no rhyme or reason, no trauma. I do remember as a child having a fall on my coccyx and being in pain for a while. I had 3 sessions of acupuncture 15 years ago and miraculously it disappeared. Unfortunately over 11 years later it returned out of the blue just before lockdown. I tried the acupuncture again but unfortunately it didn't resolve the pain thus I began various treatments with various pain specialists - all to no avail. I was referred for an MRI and informed there was no apparent abnormality with my coccyx. It was then I began my search for a specialist in this area and thank goodness came across Dr Durtnall on the coccyx.org website (see Doctors and specialists in the UK, London).

After being in Dr Durtnall's office for just 1 hour he X-rayed my coccyx and was able to highlight the issues structurally with my coccyx and began to treat it immediately. A previous MRI scan by the NHS showed no apparent issues with its position. The X rays proved otherwise .

Already I can sit again, exercise with minimal pain and go about my life without the constant fear of pains when sitting. My pain has been massively improved after just 3 visits.

I have complete confidence with Dr Durtnall's ability to completely eradicate the pain after a few more sessions. I would recommend Dr Durtnall without hesitation.

Unfortunately, I'm now back to basics again. The pain returned and I'm now under the hospital for possible injection.

I take a huge dose of Curcumin every day to manage the inflammation. It's miracle stuff to be honest.
