Does anyone else have unrelenting coccyx pain?
I just started exploring PN as the cause for my vulvodynia a few weeks ago.. last week, i started getting extreme coccyx pain that doesnt subside.. it gets worse when i sit and lay.. and is there when i stand but not AS bad.. i am just wondering if this is a symptom of PN..
also, does anyone have any advice on how to manage the pain?

Re: horrible coccyx pain
Jamie,
There are I believe people on this forum who have PNE with coccyx pain, however you might also have a more fruitful search on http://www.coccyx.org . A deviated (bent) coccyx will cause a drag on the pelvic floor muscles, so while you might have PNE, your coccyx might also be the primary problem; if so the coccyx site should be helpful.

pelvic pain started 1985 age 14 interstitial cystitis. Refused medical care from age 17, did GREAT with self care for years.
2004 PN started gradually, disabled by 2009. Underlying cause SIJD & Tarlov cysts
improved with PT & meds: neurontin, valium, nortriptyline, propanolol. (off nortriptyline & propanolol now, yay!)
Tarlov cyst surgery with Dr. Frank Feigenbaum March 20, 2012.
Results have been excellent so far; but I won't know my final functional level for a couple of years.
