Coccydinia represents pain in or around the bony structure at the bottom of the spine (coccyx, or tailbone).

The term “Coccydynia” simply refers to any kind of long lasting pain or discomfort in the tailbone. While the colloquial term “tailbone” adequately describes the area at the bottom of the spine, medical professionals know it by the official name, The Coccyx (pronounced Cox-icks). Patients will feel Coccydynia as pain localized to the area that tends to get worse while sitting.

Patients who suffer from Foot drop, also known as drop foot, generally have difficulty lifting the front part of the foot. The front of the foot may unintentionally drag on the ground when patients walk.Neurologists classify Foot drop as a sign or side effect of an underlying neurological, muscular or anatomical problem, rather than a disease in its own right.

Physicians define a Bunion as a bony bump that forms at the base of your big toe and protrudes to the side. It occurs due to the bones in the toe moving out of place. This causes the tip of the big toe to pull toward the smaller toes and pushes the joint at the base of the big toe to stick outwards. The skin over the bunion might inflame and appear red and sore.

Wearing narrow or uncomfortable shoes may contribute to bunions or cause them to worsen. Bunions may also develop as a result of a foot deformity or medical condition, such as arthritis.

Smaller bunions can also develop on the joint of your little toe.

Some people can feel a “snap” sensation or hear a “pop” sound in the hip when they walk or stand up from a sitting position. The source of this snapping involves a tendon or muscle tissue inside the hip catching on some kind of bony protrusion and then “snapping” off it like an archer releasing a bowstring. In most cases, a snapping hip will remain harmless. However, a snapping hip can sometimes lead to irritation and bursitis.

RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION - Texas Orthopedic and Spine Associates

Radiofrequency Ablation uses special radio waves to target specific nerves and generate heat

Radiofrequency Ablation uses special radio waves to target specific nerves and generate heat, temporarily turning off the ability of those nerves to send pain signals. Spine, Knee, and Hip Specialists all commonly use Radiofrequency Ablation, as overactive nerve pain commonly occurs in the back, neck and buttocks (sacroiliac joint) as well as the knee and hip joint.
