Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 21-year-old male. I am currently experiencing slight pain in my tailbone. In addition, I can feel a small bump on my left upper buttock. Please advise.

Answered by Dr. Yada Bhanutej

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Tail bone pain, coccydynia, or coxalgia can be caused with or without injury. I suggest you avoid sitting on hard surfaces such as bikes or tables.

You can also do the following:

  1. You can use a coccyx pillow as a cushion whenever you sit.
  2. You can apply an ice pack directly to that region.
  3. You can put hot or warm water in a tub and sit in the tub to get relief.
  4. I suggest you take the following medications:

    1. Tablet Aceclo Plus (Aceclofenac and Paracetamol ) twice daily after food for five days.
    2. Tablet Pantop-D (Pantoprazole and Domperidone) once daily on an empty stomach for five days.
    3. Tablet Chymoral Forte (Trypsin and Chymotrypsin) thrice daily, 30 minutes before food for five days.
    4. Consult a specialist doctor, discuss with them, and take medications with their consent.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
