I'm sat hit with my lap top wondering why my body seems to be giving up on me, I'm not old not young (mid 40's acturally!) I've looked after my bones kept fit don't come into any risk catagories low cholesterol, don't smoke no cancer in family tree, (heart disease-yes) but my gran is 108 and they all seem to live long lives, so why have i been chosen to break the chain! I wonder about how i will die!! Anyway my latest problem is this pain i've got in my coccyx?? went to my doctor as the pain has got worse over 5 days, it feels like its in my butt crack!! he thinks i must have bruised it but nothing to see and when i press there it doesn't hurt, but throbs and aches and has now woken me up in the night! he just said take anti-inflamatories but my trust has gone out of the dr, Has anyone experienced this?? I'm currious, I hope it's not another secondary!!!!! Sorry if this is depressing but had to get it off my chest!

maybe it's a side effect from the chemo?
maybe it's constipation or something like (you mentioned pain in the butt crack)
do you have more pain while sitting down on a chair, than standing up or walking?
because I had more pain when sitting down when I was undiagnosed and later found out that I also have a tumor in the S1 vertebae (which is the coccyx basically)
I'm not writing this to alarm you, but really quite the opposite, because you didn't mention it hurts more in one position than another,so it may not be cancer related.
