Backbone pain?

Hi doctor, I'm feeling backbone pain. It's deep pain-like pressure. I feel it when sleeping and when I'm sitting. Also walking a lot is making me feel pain. This is like a week and it's increasing day after day. Thank you so much.

Do you mean tailbone pain?
Hello and good day. Thanks for sharing your backbone pain with the FATD community. Please allow me to offer my thoughts, tips, and suggestions regarding your issue.
I am sorry to read about your backbone pain. At least it has not been ongoing for too long. From the limited history written, I am unsure if there was ever any trauma to the back, or any developmental incident or issue. In addition, I am not sure if you exercise (and if so, how often and what type) or the type of work you do. Finally, I am not sure if this is the upper, middle, or lower backbone since the backbones are made up of 33 vertebrae (individual bones stacked on each other). If there has been no accident or trauma to the back, then the most likely cause is fatigue failure (tired muscles) that has irritated some of the other structures in the back (ligaments, joints, and bones). I like to follow this link to help recover after the onset of pain.

I am optimistic that if you follow these steps, you will feel better. However, if you feel like it is getting worse in the next 2-3 weeks, then your issue deserves an evaluation and treatment from a medical provider, to help give you guidance towards a pain-free existence.
I hope this helps.
