Twelve years ago my husband was told he needed either nerve blocks regularly or a coccygectomy (tailbone removal) to eliminate his debilitating coccyx pain from a fall.

I found an obscure forum on the internet talking about the condition and learned there was a physical therapist at Florida State who could cure it. Turns out one of his protégés was near our house! Hubs saw him for a single 3 minute (very unpleasant and invasive) session where his tailbone was popped back into place and it has never bothered him again.

I share this to empower you all once again to be your own advocate when it comes to your medical care and health.
