Splinter Sensation in Coccyx

[maryflaw]

I have posted before several months back. Now besides in intense vaginal burning and tearing sensation I have this feeling like my tailbone has splinters. Has anyone had this experience and do you have any suggestions to alleviate the pain associated with this? I am having a very difficult time during this Christmas season. My doctor basically told me to expect more pain because of the stress related to this time of year and not to call him. How lovely is that.
Perhaps he is correct, I need to just accept it.

Mary, I wouldn't accept that you just have to live with the pain. Do you have a good pain management doc? Some people have had coccyx pain relieved by ganglion impar blocks. Have you tried those before?

Hi Violet,
I just had botox injections (my second attempt) with a higher dosage. I am hoping that I get some relief with the injections. They told me that I should not expect any result until two to three weeks. It was lovely being numb the day of the injections though

My pelvis is not straight so Dr. Popeney told me that I am not a great candidate for the surgery. I believe I would try just about anything to be able to live normal again. I feel for all of the other women and men who suffer from this.
