Injectable Medications
If both OTC and prescription medications to not help with your tailbone pain, your healthcare provider would suggest a stronger option. For instance, a corticosteroid can be injected into the ligaments or joints around the tailbone areas to manage pain and reduce discomfort. This treatment would also help relieve muscle tension when you are working with a physical therapist to cope with the underlying cause. When the ganglion impair is the main cause of tailbone pain, a nerve block injection would help by preventing the brain from sending pain signals. Antibiotics can also be prescribed if an infection occurs. [3]
