Hello All:

Recovery has been great in all areas so far until a week ago. Having pain deep in my tail bone area especially when I try to bend. Could I have pulled something in passing stool? No blood or anything just on and off pain. Anyone experienced this? Should I call the doc?

You may be experiencing coccydynia. This may be the result of trauma to the area, or just a coincidence. You may want to try naproxen sodium (Aleve) to ease the pain. Coccydynia is usually not treated and goes away on its own after a time.

However, it's always good to talk to your doctor about any pain you are experiencing.

Thanks! I will manage it with the medication and observe it for a couple more days and then call the Doc if it doesn't get better...
