Surgery
If home remedies and medications do not work for tailbone pain, then your healthcare provider might suggest a surgical procedure called a coccygectomy as the last resort. The main goal is to remove all or part of the coccyx. Keep in mind that this treatment option is not for everyone and it may take time before tailbone pain completely goes away. Some possible side effects and complications may occur as well. Therefore, you should try other methods and only go for surgery when the pain becomes so serious and disrupts your life for 6 months or more. [8]
