I've been told they are painful (which is not too much of an issue) but also experimental and not all that well proven to work. What I have hurts and I want it fixed.

I don't feel I've had a particularly accurate diagnosis. Essentially I have a painful coccyx that is mostly chronic but sometimes acute caused by a lovely pedal miss landing the bike (it bent a thomson). I'm insured and so far I've had two consultations and an MRI which have lead to it "not being skeletal" so it's prolly tendons and or ligaments. They propose the above but I was given to understand that steroids was a move proven method. I don't mind being a early adopter but.....

I would be asking the doctor how many of these he has done and with what results.
