Default coccyx pain

I am new to the forum and looking for help. I'm 36yo and have not had injury that I know of, but have had a terrible coccyx pain for over a year. It's very localized and is mostly relieved as long as I'm not sitting, if I sit for more than a few minutes, it's terrible.

I originally had injections, 2 coccygeal and 1 caudal and got some relief, but it returned with a vengeance since June. I have tried chiropractic care, medications, such as lyrica, and even percocet (which I refuse to keep taking). I do yoga and stretching and even saw a physical therapist that did an internal exam (rectally) pressing directly on the coccyx that was the absolute worst pain I've ever had, it made me see stars!! I went back to her a couple more times and she did some more gentle external work, but it wasn't helping. So now I've tried accupuncture and I've been twice and I've also been taking tramadol, with some mild relief.

So far nobody can tell me anything, I've had xrays that didn't show anything, and the spinal doctor I saw in boston, was the one that said PT was the only thing that would probably help. My GP had not much advice other than the meds.

When the pain first started I had an MRI and they saw nothing, as well.

My question is, I'm going to be in Washington DC, and I want to know if there is someone I should see.

Thanks for any advice!
Shelley
