A few weeks ago I started to have bad back pain. It seems to be right on my tail bone and to the right side of my buttocks area. I went to the doctor and he sent me to physical therapy. My physical therapist had my doctor do xrays because the physical therapy wasn’t helping and to make sure I didn’t have a fractured tail bone. He did them yesterday and said I had a crooked tail bone but it didn’t look cracked. He wanted the radiologist to look at them to make sure and I am to go back next week to see the doctor. Does anyone know if a crooked tail bone can cause severe tail bone pain and if so how is it fixed?

It certainly could. Sometimes this requires manipulation of the tailbone. Not many physical therapists tackle this unless they have a certification in manaul therapy and/or pelvic floor dysfunction. I would think you’d be more likely to find a chiropractor who would tackle this problem.
However, the pain could also eminate from the spine itself. It sounds like it warrants further investigation.
