Pain in the Sacrum

Description:

Pain in the sacrum, the triangular bone at the base of the spine, can result from various causes. This type of pain is often associated with injury, inflammation, or pressure on the nerves in the lower back and pelvis.

Common Causes:

• Sacral fracture or injury to the tailbone.
• Degenerative conditions like arthritis or disc disease.
• Pregnancy-related changes due to increased pressure on the lower spine.
• Muscle strain or overuse.
• Infection or inflammation in the sacral area.

Treatment typically involves pain management techniques, such as medications, physical therapy, or in some cases, surgery. A healthcare provider should be consulted for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.
