Coccydinia is a real pain

Q: I am a 37-year-old female. Ever since my last trimester of my pregnancy back in ’07, I have had pain when I sit on my tailbone. I have had several steroid injections in my tailbone to help with the pain. The first one brought relief for 9 months but each injection after that hasn’t lasted as long. I have also had Women’s Health physical therapy that only brought temporary relief. I have had an X-ray but never an MRI or CT scan. I did, however, just have surgery for stage 3 endometriosis which I never had any symptoms of. After the surgery the tailbone pain was gone but slowly returned.

Can you recommend any other treatment or do you have any thoughts on what could be going on? I am not sure if a chiropractor or acupuncture will be able to help me.
