Prescription Pain Medications
In addition to OTC drugs, your doctor may prescribe certain medications to help ease pain in the tailbone. For instance, antidepressants and anti-epileptics have been proved to be effective at improving pain and discomfort caused by this condition. Ask your healthcare provider about the possibility of using these options. Opiates are often not recommended unless a fracture occurs in the tailbone and causes excruciating pain. To determine whether your tailbone is fractured, an X-ray might be done. [2]
