Dr. Foye's Recent Publications on Tailbone Pain

I am Dr. Patrick Foye, M.D..
I am a physician (M.D., medical doctor) specializing in treating tailbone pain, without surgery.

I am really just getting started with using blogs. One idea of mine is to have a blog where I discuss some of the latest medical publications about tailbone pain (coccyx pain, coccydynia).

Perhaps one place to start would be with a couple of my own recent publications on tailbone pain.

Successful injection for coccyx pain. American Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. 2006 Sep;85(9):783-4.
This was an article that I published in 2006. The article describes a special injection where the physician performs a nerve block at the ganglion Impar. This is very different than a typical coccyx injection. It is not a steroid injection. This injection requires fluoroscopy for accurate placement of the injection. (If your doctor gave you a local injection at your tailbone, without using fluoroscopy to guide the injection to the exact location, it is very unlikely that you received a ganglion Impar nerve block.) The article documents that a single injection (when properly performed) can sometimes provide a patient with 100% relief of tailbone pain (coccyx pain).

Coccydynia Successfully Treated with Ganglion Impar Blocks: A Case Series. American Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. 2005;84(3):218.
This was something that I published in 2005. It was a case series looking at a number of patients who came to see me for tailbone pain (coccyx pain, coccydynia). This particular group of patients was treated with ganglion Impar nerve blocks. All patients reported significant relief from receiving the injections. The percentage relief from any single injection ranged from 20% relief to 75% relief.
