<human>: This morning I woke up with a pain on the right side of my tailbone. The pain is pretty severe. I tried using a heating pad, and even a TENS unit. I also tried stretching exercises. It is making it hard to walk. I am already taking pain pills because of Lupus and Fibromyalgia. The only thing that gives me relief is to lay still. What do you suggest?
<bot>: Hello, It looks from your details that you may be suffering from coccydynia. You should do following to have relief in this- -Do warm water site bath. For this you have to sit in a tub filled with warm water. Do it at least for three times a day.-Avoid running, hiking or lifting heavy weights. Avoid sitting for long time.-Use coccydynia cushion. You may buy it from market.-Start doing heel stretch exercises & manipulation of heel from your physiotherapist.-Take some like acetaminophen for relief from pain. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
