used to have
Terrible coccyx pain and avoided sitting for years. Got better with one surgery at L5S1 tho got worse again when L4 bulged. In 2000 had alot of soft tissue work with cranial sacral releases done by PT specializing in failed spine surgery and started ESIs with caudal ESIs for this pain. Got a good amount of relief and am not sure if I just had so many years of this type of pain and then some multidisciplinary type of treatment and coincidentally got relief however it happened and thankfully I don't have this pain anymore since about the 2001/02. Truly a relief so I know you must be suffering with this type of pain and I wish you the best. I never tried the topical lidocaine however sounds like a good idea to me! Editing to add that in 2001 also started opioid treatment for pain (very low dose daily) and had been on Neurontin 1800mg/day since 1998. Recently was able to discontinue the Neurontin ~ whoohooo!
