I have a sore tailbone?!
Question: I have a sore tailbone.?
Well, I'm 14. In 8th grade.
Recently, I've had a cold. Whenever I cough my tailbone hurts. When I go to sit, and while I am sitting, It doesn't. But when I go to stand, it gets sore. Aleve or Tylenol don't work. I guess, it's not really pain, but its really sore, and Its been like this for 3 days.
Help.?! I am very confused as to why this is happening. I haven't fallen recently. No one pushed me, kicked me, etc. I haven't ridden a bike, and nothing unusual. I don't have gym class, either.Health Question & Answer

Answers:
Feel it with your fingers. Does it feel as if your tailbone has a knob on the end of it under the skin.?
You could possibly have a Pilonidal Cyst. I had one and had to have it surgically removed.
Here's some information on the subject (be forewarned that the picture included is NOT pretty.)

I'm betting that this is because when you caugh it is causeing you to jump a little in your seat or lean forward and thn back ecsesivly . you should deffinatly go to the doctor because 1. you have a cold and they will give you medicine to help cure that and 2. you could have bruised your ttail bone and even tho its not a visible bruise the bone its self could be.

I had a similar experience in high school. It turned out to be an abscess. I thought I must have slept weird or something but it kept getting worse and eventually hurt so bad I had to go to the doc. You need to get it checked out. Take hot baths too, that will help.Health Question & Answer
