I've had tailbone pain for 18 years after falling on a speedbreaker - my x-ray back then showed a hairline fracture but I didn't take proper care. Now my recent x-rays show anterior dislocation of the coccyx and the pain has gotten worse over the past 5 years. I can't sit directly and only manage 30 minutes with a special cushion. The doctor pointed out how my bone is bent inward - could this cause problems if I try stretching exercises? Would treatments like TENS or ultrasound therapy help since I want to avoid risky surgery

Given your chronic tailbone pain and the recent finding of an anterior dislocation with a bent coccyx, gentle stretching exercises might be beneficial, but it's crucial to proceed cautiously and under the guidance of a professional, especially if your doctor's concerned about potential complications.
