Tailbone discomfort

Hi Alex89 I don't recall having anything in my tailbone. I did have an itchy bum and blood on toilet paper for a good few years before diagnosis but put it down to aggressive wiping, with hindsight it obviously wasn't. If you haven't been to the doctors about it I would go and ask for a scan. Sending hugs. Xx

Hello Alex89

In my case no - nothing showed in the tailbone/sacrum.  I did have skinny poos (no blood) though, and that was what led me to the doctor in the first place and a then had a CT colonography  which found the tumour.

Have you had a fall?  It doesn't necessarily have to have been recent but landing on the coccyx can damage the tailbone and lead to pain immediately or some time later.

I hope you get to the root of your pain, it must be frustrating and worrying to have this ongoing.

Please let us know how you get on.

 No fall whatsoever but the tailbone pain continues the poop continues and the spotting continues. I’ve read a case study about cancers unidentified primary where sacrum tumour found first followed by anal lesion 2 years later. Also wondering how many colonoscopies miss anal tumors . He did do a refractionary viewing where the camera is turned back at thecrectum and didn’t show tumor so I thought I was fine until reading about other case studies. Also feel like a full sensation and some groin sensation when ejaculating.

I am not a medical expert but perhaps the next step would be a CT scan which might show more of what is going on.  What does your doctor say? x
