Coccydynia is not diagnosed on x-ray. It is a clinical diagnosis. Try: 1. Sitz bath ( A tub of hot water with dettol in which affected are has to be dipped in- 10 mins twice daily) for 10 days. 2. Medications like Enzomac, Tendocare and Ceftum will help. 3. Sit on a soft pillow or coccydynia pillow.
