I have a rather large painful lump on the right side of tailbone. It started out as a small painless bruise the size of an eraser two weeks ago. I simply forgot all about it. Now I woke up to pain on the right side and reached to feel the area and there is an orange sized lump that is causing me pain while siting, bending and walking. I am having pain in my right leg. Last year I had an epidural done in the area of my tailbone. Could this be an issue..or related?
Hi, Dear,Good Morning. Thanks for your query to my ChatDoctor-virtual clinic.After in depth study of your query, I understand your concerns. In my opinion-diagnosis -is -Bruised boil with abscess on tail bone?or a colonial abscess ? Or may be-Peri-anal abscess. Pain in right leg is due to the irritation by inflammation, leading to Sciatic neuritis. Treatment-is 1-Consult an ER-Surgeon-Investigate for Diabetes with FBS/PPS and if it there starts anti-diabetics, 1-a-Start Tb NSAIDs, b-start Antibiotics.Once the swelling is calmed down then, Excision with debridement of the infected mass needs to be done ASAP. Epidural done last year has no chance of it cause and has no connection with this tail bone painful swelling on its rt.side. Hope this would relieve your worrisome query. Wellcome to Chat Doctor for more queries.
