Update on Back Pain

I finally got my x-ray last week, as most of you know I had broken my tailbone during Natalie's arrival. Turns out that when my sacrum and coccyx healed, instead of being straight down, it healed pointed 90 degrees toward my belly! Yikes! Not sure what they are going to do yet, but at least I know it wasn't all in my head.
Here's a link to what part the sacrum/coccyx are

the sacrum is the whole last triangular part of your back where the tailbone is attached.

PT won't help that, it's only going to help the back pain I have from all the months i've been sitting and moving oddly to avoid sitting on my tailbone. sigh.

Argh... I know how frustrating it is to be in pain and not know what to do about it... I hope that they can find a way to get you some relief.
