Coccyx Bone
Due to trauma, my coccyx bone has misaligned and pain arises and when I get up after long time sitting. It's been 6 months now. I'm using doughnut pillow.
Is there any other treatment to make it aligned or coccyx bone can't be corrected forever (one orthopedic doctor said it can't be corrected)?
Looking for genuine replies.

Greetings, sorry about the pain
Please confirm did you have fracture on coccyx bone or near sacrum. If fracture is confirmed then getting it corrected by surgery is best. It will be a simple surgery followed by 2 months rest and recovery is good making you return to normalcy.
it is not true coccyx alignment cannot be corrected. We can correct the alignment. With coccyx x ray visit a physio near you.
