    I assume you all know what this surgery is? I had this done about 2 weeks ago.

    no fall

    Did not have an accident or fall to my knowledge. My tailbone just grew wrong & became "displaced". I was basically sitting on the point of my tailbone when I sat, so you can imagine the frustration and pain.
    Tried PT & cortisone shots, but those did not help. So I found a great orthopadeic surgeon in Charlotte, NC (Dr. Dickerson) & he removed it surgically. He has done over 200 of these procedures and is known as an expert in this surgery for the eastern US.
