Coccygodynia why I use
Posted: Fri Sep 21, 2007 2:14 pm
This is why I have been utilizing Apis mellifica
Here's a little information that may help you understand.
Coccygodynia is the term that refers to the pain in or around the coccyx, also known as tailbone. The sacrum is the big triangular bone below the spine and is situated between the right and the left hipbones. It is very unpleasant condition although it is quite rare and it represents less than 1% of all back pain conditions reported to physicians.
Although the pain is very strong, but the reasons of coccygodynia are poorly understandable! There are many possible theories such as:
1. pain from the soft tissues around the tail bone
2. spasm of the muscles of the pelvic floor,
3. referred pain from lumbar pathology,
4. inflammation of the lower sacral nerve roots,
5. local posttraumatic lesions,
6. somatization
Although, almost any of these reasons could be responsible, patients often mention a fall on the buttocks or a delivery before the pain started so the reasons are probably mechanical- such as fracture of the coccyx or fracture dislocation of the coccygeal vertebra!
Mostly, the pain is felt in the sitting position. It is 5 times more common in women than in men, probably because of the fact that it is more prominent in women than in men. Almost one third of all cases of coccygodynia are idiopathic in nature, which means that the real cause is unknown. I like it so far so good.
