Medical Controversy?: Everything has a Support Group...

I know there are support groups for everything. I expect that there are groups and organizations for various maladies, syndromes, diseases, and afflictions. I understand that the Internet makes it easier to find people who are going through what you are going through. I completely grok the idea of sharing stories, getting help, and gathering strength from shared experiences.

But even that didn't prepare me for coccyx.org. Which includes a long page with links to stories from people who have had a coccygectomy. Which means they've had their tailbone removed for one reason or another. I may have suspected that many people suffer from tailbone pain but I never thought enough people had their tailbone removed to fill a page with many personal experiences. Who knew? Not me.

In case you're wondering here's a short article to help you determine if you need to have your tailbone removed.
