It's uncomfortable to sit sometimes as my tailbone is sore. It comes and goes. There is no swelling that I can detect, although as a teen 40 years ago I had similar symptoms, but with a small, swollen lump that turned out to be a cyst which was surgically drained. I'm healthy and not overweight. Thanks

Hi
you have to consult your surgeon to look for any recurrence of the cyst that had been drained and further investigations.

I'm not a doctor or anything, but I had the same problem. In 1998, I was having pain in my tailbone, and I waited so long that I had to have surgery. However, it was done in an emergency room through a general surgeon, so it came back two years later. I then went to a colon rectal surgeon who completely removed it and it had to heal from inside out (4 -6 weeks recovery time). it was somewhat painful, but I haven't had any problems since. Hope this helps.
