I've been dealing with tailbone pain for 2 years and my X-ray shows an anterior subluxation of the coccyx. I've tried NSAIDs, sitz baths, coccyx cushions, and physiotherapy like IFT and ultrasound with no relief. I don't want to go for ablation, injections, or surgery at my age. Is internal manipulation by an experienced ortho specialist an option for this kind of coccyx issue? Looking for someone who's handled similar cases before

Really worried about what comes next.* This keeps it natural, drops formalities, and focuses on the concern without sounding robotic.

It's understandable to be worried when you hear about a broken bone. Surgery isn't always the only option, and many fractures can be treated with less invasive methods. Your doctor will consider the type of fracture, its location, and your overall health when determining the best treatment plan.

While surgery might be recommended for severe fractures, alternative treatments like casting or splinting can sometimes be used. The decision depends on the specific fracture, its location, and whether the bone fragments are significantly displaced. Surgery is often needed for complex fractures or when non-surgical methods are unlikely to result in proper alignment and healing
