How Do You Tell If You Have A DISLOCATED TAILBONE (COCCYX DISLOCATION)?
By: Patrick Foye, M.D., Director of the Coccyx Pain Service at New Jersey Medical School, Newark, N.J. (www.TailboneDoctor.com) A DISLOCATED TAILBONE (COCCYX DISLOCATION)is one cause of TAILBONE PAIN. If you have tailbone pain (coccyx pain), you may want to know whether you actually have a tailbone dislocation (a dislocated coccyx).
