I'm really worried because I've been dealing with this pain just above the tip of my coccyx for the past 7 years. I've been taking diclofenac sodium and paracetamol, but I'm looking for a more permanent solution, maybe something homeopathic. It's really tough because I can't sit for long periods and any jerking motion makes it worse, even small movements are painful. The pain is now spreading to my legs, and I occasionally get a fever when it's bad. My MRI results showed a disc bulging at L5S1, nerve compression, lumbar lordosis, and acute angulation of the coccyx. I'm 31 years old and would really appreciate some advice on a suitable long-term solution or medication.

my fingers are bending on their own but there's no pain. I'm thinking about getting surgery for this but I'm not sure if it's safe or if there are any risks involved. what should I know before going ahead with it

If your fingers are bending on their own without pain, it could be due to Dupuytren's contracture or trigger finger. Before considering surgery, discuss your concerns with a doctor or specialist to determine the best course of treatment, as non-surgical options are often tried first.
