I was born with a pilonidal cyst that never bothered me until I fell off an office chair and landed right on it on one of the legs that stick off the chair. Thank goodness my boss made me file an accident report because about three month later it got terribly infected. I had to have surgery that nearly killed me as I had a bad reaction to the anesthesia. They had to take a lot of tissue, so I have a big dent in the area above my tailbone. But it’s been about 45 years since, and no further problems.

I knew that there often is hair within a pilonidal cyst but I didn’t know the medical term of pilonidal meant a nest of hairs. Thank you.

[@antoineduchamp4931]

It is a combination of two Latin words, one for 'hair' and one for 'nest'

[@droose5158]

Another guy that had it on here had to have surgery to cut out a large infected area of his butt they said the hair turns inwards becoming essentially a ingrown hair that keeps growing and growing and growing another person said it had grown into their disc and needed to have it removed and that the hair can even grow in further into your organs in worst case situations. So it doesn't just mean nest of hair it actually is a nest of hair and that's why it itches

when sleeping, use a hard surface if you have forward bend coccyx. Then when seating, always use a custom coccyx cushion or 2"foam. Then try to walk 5minutes at least everyday but don't run. This will help to reduce the pain within 1 month.

I had a blood pressure issue about a week ago or so, and I fell down because of it. I landed directedly on a "long leg" of a solid wood mirror's base. Directly on my coccyx and I BOUNCED. It was excruciating and still is giving me intense grief. In the last couple days, I've developed an unbearable (and unrelievable) itch right in there. The itching is quite maddening. Do you think the trauma from the fall caused this (possible) Pilonidal Cyst? I was shocked when my husband said there was a pimple developing alongside the redness. I take a bath every single day, busted coccyx or not. So I was upset, I keep clean. But now I see THIS video, and am wondering if the fall caused this cyst. Is that a possibility? Cheers.

I too have been fobbed off for 6 years. The pain is horrific and I have tried everything from physio, acupuncture, the bowens technique, osteopaths, chiropractitioners etc. I have also had every single pain killer on offer including tramadol and none of the medication works. I have seen numerous consultants and got nowhere. Last year I had the internal manipulation for my coccyx under anaesthetic and injections but that aggravated things. My doctor suggested that I try a different consultant to see if he can help to which he has offered pretty much the same treatment as what the previous consultant did last year so I cant really see how it will work this time. The only good thing that I can say is that he said he is going to take a look while im sedated to see whats happening with the coccyx which is more than what any other health care professional has offered to do. I dont mean to be negative but I doubt I will get any further than the manipulation and injection with this consultant either. I was also quite annoyed how I was pretty much asked to leave the room after 10 minutes with the consultant. He gave me no time to explain how I lost my mobility completely 3 years ago and how I literally felt my coccyx crunch along with my discs. Im scheduled to have the procedure done this Thursday but if he wont help me any further if the treatment isn't a success I have since found a consultant that has helped so many people with coccydynia. Many have had a full investigation and have had their coccyx removed. They have all said that after the wound had healed after the surgery that after a short time that they have improved 98 per cent and some have said that they are now pain free. After Thursday's treatment if i dont feel any benefit I shall be arranging an appointment with this other consultant because I want my life back. A few people I know have also had their coccyx removed and they too are doing just fine. They have all returned back to the gym, they can now ride their bikes and they can walk for long distances and they can also sit with ease. I would have made an appointment with their consultant but hes now retired but all is not lost because I now have another consultant that I can contact. I refuse to give up because it just proves that by having your coccyx removed it can be so beneficial. I know that it doesn't work for everyone but when youre in excruciating pain and it affects your mobility so much that you are willing to try anything.

I had mine lanced and all the puss squeezed out. The numbing shots hurt so so SO badly, and I can handle a decent amount of pain. Anyways, they put a wick so that it continue to drain. The wick stays in for a few days. I hope this helps anyone wondering what to do.

[@hannahsilver1190]

Thank you so much for your video. I had a pilonidal abscess about 10 years ago and had to have it surgically removed; not so fun. But it started hurting tonight again and I thought, hey maybe I’m lucky and it’s just coccyx pain. But sadly, from your video, it’s definitely not. ☹️ So I guess I wondering, if someone actually has a cyst surgically removed is it less likely to recur than say if you just drained the cyst? I’m looking for any ray of hope i won’t have to go back and do he surgery all over again. 😬

I broke my coccyx when I was 12. About a year ago, my roommate spilled water on the floor and was too lazy to clean it up. I slipped and landed right on my coccyx again. It’s been a year and I work in dentistry. Sitting in those chairs is making the pain UNBEARABLE. IDK what to do bc doctors are STUPID these days.

[@TailbonePainDoctor]

I am very sorry that you are suffering with such ongoing pain. You are correct that unfortunately most doctors do not know much about evaluation and treatment of the coccyx. If you are looking for further information on tailbone pain, you can get a copy of my book on Amazon at the following link: a.co/3wlLjYm

hello! i’ve had tailbone pain for almost 5 months now and i haven’t fallen or hurt my tailbone in any way and i don’t know what to do. i went to the doctor and i had 2 xrays and everything seemed fine with the bone itself. i recently went to the chiropractor but that didn’t help. i was wondering if you have any tips or know what to do with my tailbone. it only hurts when i sit or go from sitting to standing. no one has any idea what it is. thinking about getting an mri but i am not sure? thank you!

I am 99% sure I have a pilonidal and it is bleeding quite a lot almost constantly should I be worried is it normal and should I go to my doctor

[@SidGarber]

I appreciate your information and for years I have had Coccyx pain and use adjusting methods to help as the pain is not only in that area but affects my shoulders and neck as well. However, it is also tender as you mentioned and I never thought about a cyst. It is usually a burning pain and just recently I got a Herpies out break right on the spot where it burns. There must be a little nerve ending there as well. Do you think this sounds like a cyst as well or just the Herpies? Also, my blood work shows a possible bacterial infection.

[@Jow_jow_]

I was thinking ive damaged my tailbone but turns out could be a cyst as it feels like a fluid cushion around my tailbone. Not a lot but enough to feel spongy

[@Rajveer-zr9sp]

2 years ago i v had this cyst but I thought I dislocated tailbone and pain was severe for 10 days after this it automatically started leaking and all the pus bad stuff out of it.

[@bpistherevolution3712]

Hello doctor, I believe I have pilondal cyst and it came from no where. Its been a week and from that time I thought it was tailbone pain and did some stuff they said to do online to help treat it. It didn't get any better so I went to my doctor and he told me the same thing I read online and to get a cushion for sitting which I did, I also take ibuprofen for the pain. I did see a small bump but I thought it was just swelling which I read could be a symptom of tailbone pain. Until today I noticed a yellowish, funky smelling, gooey substance on that area and immediately looked online on what it could be. I'm pretty sure its pilondial cyst and that it just popped, so I was wondering if there's anything I can do to keep it from getting infected and to go away. I read some homemade remedies and tried the one where you dillute apple cider vinegar and dip a cotton ball on it then apply it to the affected area. Is that good and will that help? My bump is not that big but I dont really know what to do. Please help. Thank you for your time

[@z.c.m9908]

tikaismeee e hi, I am going through the same thing as you. is this your first one? this is my third in 18 yrs, and they hurt soooo bad. I also am trying the apple cider vinegar along with baking soda to make a paste.did that work out for you? i heard a way to keep them from recurring is to constantly twice a day ,use the acne pads with salysilic acid, like OXy , and that helps keep the bacteria to stay away.also tea tree oul. I plan on buying all these things soon as i can get my money this week. these things are very very painful, and its better to do a few steps extra in our hygiene practice to keep our pilonidal cysts from recurring and keep them " asleep"

[@TailbonePainDoctor]

I'm sorry to hear about your pain. Hopefully it has resolved by now, since it is two months since your comment was posted (I'm just now getting caught up on answering some of the comments on my KZbin videos). Certainly when you describe the "yellowish, funky smelling, gooey substance" that does indeed sound like it is worth having you get checked out medically to see if it is a pilonidal cyst. I recommend that you see your primary care physician or other health care provider. I'm not familiar with the homemade remedies (apple cider vinegar, etc.) that you describe, and there is the potential for a pilonidal cyst to become infected which can be very serious. It's worth seeking in-person medical attention.

[@MrSuhailjan]

Hey so for the past 2 days I have been feeling a pain in the the upper part of my butt and it seems to be a small or medium sized lump. It hurts very much to sit down, lay down, or bend over and the pain seemingly started out of the blue. I slipped on the stairs about a week and a half ago and it hurt pretty bad because I think I feel around the same area the pain and lump is in. I also do wrestling but I do have not been at practice for about 5 days but I don’t remember falling or injuring my my rear end or tailbone. I’m going to see a doctor soon about it but can someone please maybe tell me what it might be because I am a bit scared. Thanks

You should really go get it taken care of but its understandable if you don't ... sit in a hot as you can stand it with Epsom salt bath ... it will draw all the puss to the top and it may even bust open and drain ... and make sure to keep the area clean as much as possible ... hope you're doing ok ...

hello doctor I've had whats labeled a PILONIDAL CYST, which to me was just an embarrassing hole there since I was a teenager and I'm 33 now. The problem is now I'm in a world of hurt because the skin surrounding it has become more dense to the touch which it wasn't before. If its an infection can I take anti-biotics or any other meds OR could it require surgery which i am terrified of because how can even sit after that surgery is done. Please loan me your help as I am in bad pain no matter if I sit, go to sleep or even walk.

Hi Doctor, Thanks for differentiating the difference. I had a pilonidal surgery a long time back! (20 years ago) Other day, I must have accidentally infected it by trying to remove the hair with a blade...and ended up with red bumps on my butt...took some antibiotics and red bumps disappeared. However, now I am in a quandary as I have been itching on my fold for the 6 months...not sure...why??? There is also pain on my left butt especially if i am sitting on the floor. My physician is at a lost! Googled the issue and found intertigo!!! Is this my problem?? Please advise...Thanks Have been using zinc cream with cortisone cream to keep the itching at bay! but of no avail!
