In April of 2022 I began to have tailbone pain. I "Googled" remedies and started stretching. - No relief

Went to my PCP. Got an X-ray,showing no breaks or fractures. Put me on Prednisone. - No relief

Went to a chiropractor - No relief

Went to a Urogynecolgist - No relief

Went to a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist - No relief

Went to a pain clinic. Got a steroid injection. - No relief

Went to a spinal orthopedic last week. He did an x-ray...still no fractures or breakage. He suggested an MRI and removal of the coccyx

I then read Brenda's article about manual manipulation at home. I tried it. INSTANT PAIN RELIEF!

I have to do the adjustments several times a day, but I'm hoping it will continue to improve. I've had pain for 20 months, so it may take a few adjustments to keep me pain free.

I am still pain-free a year later. The pelvic floor stretches help. I still don't like to sit on hard benches for extended periods, but I have the manual adjustment I can do if I need to.
