TAILBONE PAIN AND PROLOTHERAPY TREATMENTS
I have had 10 Prolotherapy treatments for my tailbone pain, which also manifests itself in hip pain and burning in pelvis, hips and thighs. I am being treated with Prolotherapy.

And while I have a good understanding of how prolotherapy works, I am becoming discouraged I have very good response in the beginning, specifically after the 4th to 6th treatment and much improvement after the 10th treatment. However, my pain level and sitting intolerance is almost back to the beginning and I have to start increasing my pain meds again, which, by the way I was able to decrease by 50%. My doctor tells me that upon palpating my problem are he sees more improvement than I seem to be reporting. I know it's not in my head. I want to get better very badly, I have had this pain for many years. Any advice?

Dear Tailbone Pain: We at Caring Medical like to take a simplistic view of things. In your case, the Prolotherapy has helped somewhat but not all the way. Most likely this means where the doctor is treating is only part of the problem. Most likely you need other areas treated. Some of these other areas are the ischial tuberosity, hips, iliolumbar ligaments, pubic ramus and pubic symphysis. Palpate these areas on yourself or have someone else do it and see if any of them are tender. If they are you need them Prolo'ed. It is probable that they will give you the added relief that you desire.

There is no known cure for arthritis. Prolotherapy and nutritional supplements can help alleviate, reverse, or end arthritic pain by treating an underlying cause that contributes to degenerative disease, ligament laxity. Strengthening ligaments and other connective tissue can help prevent bone on bone arthritis from developing.
