Have you seen a … Have you seen a chiropractor, because we tend to look at things differently than the orthopedic doctor would. You may find an answer going that route.
As far as what it could be, I'm guessing you either have a misalignment of your pelvis or sacrum, or you may have some damage to the muscles or ligaments that attach at the sacrum where you're feeling the pain.
The NSAIDS are only a temporary solution, so I would go to the chiropractor first to see if something else can be done.
Hey Doc, I've had … Hey Doc, I've had pain on the right side of my tailbone for about 11 months now. It starts out softly but gradually gets unbearable.. 40mgs of an NSAID kills the pain for a good 9 hours but it always comes back. Orthopedist says no fracture or pinched nerve.. I'm 19 and this isn't showing any signs of getting better on its own.. Its been nearly a year. Any wise words?
Thanks.
let me just give … let me just give you my advice, do not lift weight, do not do sports, or anything that may aggravate it until it heals completely the last thing you want to do is to turn it to a bigger problem like i did. take it real easy , ice 2x a day , do a glute, hamstring and hip flexor stretch since these muscles all tug on the back and make it work, and i recommend doing bridges a core exercise only if you feel no intense pain doing it . eat healthy drink lots of water and good luck
It sounds like you … It sounds like you may have a problem called Piriformis Syndrome, where the muscle in the buttock spasms and pinches the Sciatic nerve. I would see a chiropractor about that.
Hello everyone. I … Hello everyone. I have a terrible sharp pain in my right buttock when i run fast. i cannot run fast because the pain is very sharp. i play alot of football and keep fit but this pain is stopping me from doing this. any advice plz?
wish you had help … wish you had help for me. was hurt last december and have a ruptured disc. just went to my dr and they said that i need a fusion surgery due to how bad it is. been through phys therapy and chiro and no gains. ice doesnt do anything for me. ah, wishful thinking for an easy cure.
You're really young … You're really young, so it should heal over time. You may want to consider having your parents take you to an Activator chiropractor – it usually helps quite a bit.
I'm only 14 and I … I'm only 14 and I found out about a month 1/2 ago I had a bulging disk and the pain runs down my right leg to a little above the back of my knee. It's pretty painful, and I just want to live my life like all the other kids.
will this eventually just go away? I'm in physical therapy but.. I don't really know if it's helping..
Well, I have to be … Well, I have to be honest with you – my opinion is that you shouldn't have been on bed rest to begin with. And if you had to be because the pain was so bad and you couldn't move, it really shouldn't have been for more than 2 weeks. So, if you've been on bed rest for a month, you really should be able to travel now.
hi there.. i had … hi there.. i had been having lower back pain for 4 months . last month i was diagnosed with disk bulge and the report says lumbar spondylisis. its almost been a month since i am in rest and the pain had reduced. (i am in bed rest). how long should i be in this bed rest. and when can i travel…
I'm glad to hear … I'm glad to hear that! Left abdominal pain can be caused by many things – yes, a hernia is one of them, but it can also be from irritable bowel syndrome, a muscle spasm of a muscle called the Psoas muscle, as well as other problems.
I would get it checked out by your family doctor if it continues to give you problems.
pretty much is same … pretty much is same situation as you. hurt my back around december 08, no real diagnosis, so continued with sport and everything had probs with it for 3 months until i woke up with leg pain in early march. went to chiro said its a herniated disc, and was confirmed by MRI. still recovering nearly 5 months post injury
I can't make any … I can't make any promises that my program would "seal the deal" for you either, but I can say that I offer a 90 day guarantee, which is more than enough time to try it. Especially as young as you are.
That isn't an … That isn't an ignorant statement – it doesn't happen in 2 weeks for everyone – just most people. It really depends on the condition, whether any degeneration has occurred, and how well a person is able to follow my recommendations.
And of course, there are some individuals who don't respond at all – I never said anything about 100% success, and any doctor who does is the fishy one.
i may sound a … i may sound a little ignorant and sorry for this Dr. but 2 weeks or less seems a little fishy to me. Well anways, I hurt my back over xmas break and didn't get an MRI done because my sports doctor was confident he knew what he was talking about. I had the leg pain in my right leg and PT worked alot..then somehow threw it out over spring break..had to go to a very reliable chiropractor after that. I feel almost 100% but still feel some discomfort. Will your program "seal the deal" for me?23m
At this point, I … At this point, I don't know what else to tell you. It sounds like you're confident that you've tried everything, so I really don't know if my program would help you.

What I meant is … What I meant is this – there are actually a lot of cases where a disc bulge will show up on a CT scan or an MRI, and it doesn't cause pain at all. It has more to do with the amount of space you have behind the disc for the spinal cord to pass through.
So, it's actually very important that the CT findings are correlated to the doctor's examination findings, because many things can cause the same type of pain.
hi, i had ct scan … hi, i had ct scan taken and im definitely sure its a disc bulge. i have been seeing a neurosurgeon too and he said its a disc bulge. i tried the cortisone injection method but it didnt work. and i have already tried the heat before with no success.
I would recommend … I would recommend you try dry heat now instead of the ice to see what happens. Follow the same rules – 15 min on, 1 hour off.
If you feel better with the heat, it isn't likely that your pain is coming from a bulging disc, and in that case, you need someone to look further into your condition to find out what's really causing the problem.
Well, it doesn't … Well, it doesn't necessarily mean my program won't work for you (after all, ice is only 1 step out of almost 30 that I teach in my guide), however, it does make me wonder if you've been misdiagnosed.
The reason I say that is because the ice works almost every time when the cause of the pain is a bulging or a herniated disc. If it doesn't help, I start to wonder if the pain is coming from something else, such as degeneration in the disc (arthritis), a muscle problem, or even a pinched nerve.
hello. i tried the … hello. i tried the ice therapy like you said for 3 days in a row but theres no difference whatsoever. does that mean your program will not work for me?
For the ice, yes I … For the ice, yes I would encourage you to place it in a plastic bag just so it isn't as messy.
You want to continue doing the ice consistently for 3 days (that means 5 – 8 treatments per day, 3 days in a row), then cut back and only use the ice as needed.
In other words, if you feel any pain, you would go back to using the ice as you felt you needed it.

Yeah, a rupture is … Yeah, a rupture is different than a herniation or a disc bulge – it almost always requires surgery unfortunately.
