When I started to feel tailbone pain year and a half before it was thoguht it is back pain (it was a year after CR surgery. Now I hve mets aroud aorta in abundance and they pressure nerves. He is on chemo and radiation, so maybe treatments are to blame, but you have to speak with your doc about it. They just don't understand that this pain i shorrible. My max time in bed laying down is hour and half, usually much less. What it helps - wwalking and sitting on the medicine/excersise ball. And take another painkiller and after a while I can go to bed for an hour.
Push and insist in diagnostic, don't let it go because it is inconvenient, if I was pushy I will not be in this stage now.
