I am a 55 year old male in good health. I recently began having pain while sitting. The pain seems to be located on my tail bone. I thought it was nothing because it came on mostly while driving long distances, but I now feel it when I sit for any period of time in a harder chair. About 2 weeks ago I notices numbness in my left big toe that has persisted. Yesterday I began having numbness in my left buttock that continues to the upper part of my left leg. Any thoughts? Thanks, Doug YYYY@YYYY
Dear Patient, pain in the tail bone is called coccydynea, this occurs as you know due to long sitting or sitting while travelling, There are both non-surgical and surgical methods to cure this, First, use ring pillow while travelling, or sitting you can get an injection of analgesic and steroid, at that site which has Chat Doctor. Thanks
