Coccydynia
I have been suffering from the tail bone pain on and off for almost a year. This increases when I do more physical activity like bending down and running around doing household chores. My job requires me to sit for long hours in front of the computer. The xray shows there is some impact but no fractures. I have been advised not to ride 2 wheeler and walk to work instead. Please advise if I need to go for a MRI scan for further investigation. I struggle to get up from sitting position on a chair after more than half hour of sitting. I am using a special cushion for sitting.
