well, I can tell you I have pain on occasion in my tailbone and it is very painful but it doesn't stay long. I was very depressed until my dr put me on Cymbalta in addition to other depression pill I was taking and that helped a lot. I have had fibro since I was in my 20's that I know of. I can't think back any younger than that. I am now 67, so I think it's here to stay. I hope you find a dr who can help you relieve your pain and answer your questions but you would probably learn more from us in here. I am currently taking one Oxycodin pill a day with Dulcolax so I don't get constipated. Although the pain doesn't go away, it seems I can get a lot more done and I can move more freely when I take it.
