Doubt about Xray
I have tailbone pain since many months and recently i got an ultrasound and xray coccyx lateral done which were termed normal by the doctor.
However the pain is still there and painkillers do help to reduce it but don't make it go away fully.
Anyway, coming to the question, if your xray is clear without any lytic lesion, are the chances of it being chordoma(sorry, anxiety due to google) be extremely low?
I stay in the uk and don't have access to doctors as easily as India so I need guidance regarding this query. I am panicking a lot thinking its chordoma :(.
Attached the xray.

Would suggest an MRI to rule out any malignancy
Some times nerve related pains like neuropathy can also cause these issues.
For a better diagnosis, please get an MRI at earliest possible

If there is no lytic lesion there is very less chance of being chordoma. Also chordomas occur in 60s. If pain is persistent better to go with MRI for better delineation and diagnosis
