What can you do with a spine injury?
You are sure it’s your coccyx? As the x ray supplied looks like a lumbar spine shot with the upper surface of the sacrum. I would really check the stability of your Sacroiliac joint.

So if the two ends of the body are not stable al kinds of issues arise. READ MORE
