Hi there,
Recently diagnosed with AS after 15 years of chronic back pain including tailbone pain. I wondered if anyone with AS has experienced chronic tailbone pain? Did your treatment alleviate your pain or help with mobility? Thanks!A
Yes, I've had tailbone pain (SI Joints) for the last 3 years. I am currently on Enbrel, Sulfsalazine, & Arava along with pain meds & muscle relaxers. It is about 50 - 60% effective. When the pain gets really bad, I get steroid injections in my SI Joints. Most of the time they help for up to six months. Sometimes six weeks.
Yes I do but I had fallen and broke my tailbone 3 yrs ago and that’s what started this terrible never ending pain. The tailbone always hurts. I’ve tried every injection you can think of and nerve ablation, PT, you name it and no relief. But just because all those failed for me doesn’t mean it won’t work for others. Good luck
Thanks so much for sharing and I’m so sorry for your pain.
I have horrible tailbone pain from a fall 2mths ago! It's finally subsiding!! Took forever!!! I'm on Cimzia. Helps me immensely:) Enjoy your Sunday.😊
Same here. Night time pain is and to deal with, how you handle it at night ? Prayers are with you
