I’m thankful to have found Dr. Foye. I’ve been in pain for several years, seen many different doctors and none of them could diagnose or address my tailbone pain. Dr. Foye not only diagnosed me properly, but he spent time with me helping me understand the path ahead. He is compassionate, warm, and never made me feel rushed or dismissed. Time will tell if the injections worked, but I’m very hopeful.

Doctor Foye as usual is the most compassionate doctor I have ever met. He is truly concerned with my well-being and thoroughly explains all procedures. I would recommend him to anyone with very unique conditions like my coccyx pain.

Dr. Foye seems to be very knowledgeable on tailbone issues. However, he has only one trick and he’s trying to sell it to all patients: it’s steroid injections. He would always try to lure you into doing an injection even if it’s not helpful for you. When I saw him from out of state and we did the sit-stand Xray, I had a lot of doubts that the injection could be helpful to me. Especially that I had already done one before. Yet he kept convincing me that his injection is different than others and it could benefit me. Anyway I agreed with him and went ahead with the injection. And sure enough I got zero benefit out of it. And now I have to deal with the gigantic bills that are coming from his billing office. I just received an $8.6k bill after I already paid $600 on the spot before I did the injection and my insurance paid them another $400. Isn’t $1000 enough for a simple procedure that took less than 15 minutes?! When does this greed end?! This is not to mention his completely disorganized and unprofessional staff, and the very messy and dirty clinic. I really regret flying across the country to see him.

Dr. Patrick M. Foye is a very nice doctor who cares for his patients. His team gave me a copy of his book "Tailbone Pain Relief Now! Causes and Treatments for Your Sore or Injured Coccyx". The book is a very useful tool for patients experiencing tailbone pain and Dr. Foye is the specialist to help you! I became his patient and even a fan reader of his work!

Hi. While I can not give medical advice to those who I have not personally evaluated (since we do not have a doctor-patient relationship), and nor can I give medical advice in a public format like this... but I can say that the vast majority of the time coccyx pain can be treated successfully without surgery (without coccygectomy, which is amputation of the coccyx). I have lots of info. on my website: www.TailboneDoctor.com. You can also get a copy of my book on tailbone pain online at Amazon. In the United States, you can get my coccyx book here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0996453504 (FYI: the e-book version is scheduled to be completely free on Amazon worldwide on Feb. 1, 2020.) Lots of info. that you should then discuss with your in-person treating physician. You are of course also be welcome to come in for treatment here at our Tailbone Pain Center. Wishing you all the best. --Patrick Foye, M.D., Director of the Coccyx Pain Center, Rutgers NJ Med School
I can not give medical advice publicly nor to those not treated by me, as there is no doctor-patient relationship between us, so I defer to you and your treating physician. Meanwhile, in general terms, I can say that when I give lectures on tailbone pain to physicians I stress how important is to, ideally, have a specific diagnosis prior to injections. Without knowing a diagnosis, it would be tough to answer your question (although publicly online like this I would not be able to answer here anyway).

Yes, here at the Coccyx Pain Center (Tailbone Pain Center) we find that many patients do have pudendal nerve pain (pudendal neuralgia) in addition to their tailbone pain. We do provide non-surgical treatment for painful pudendal nerves. Read more here: http://tailbonedoctor.com/pudendal-nerve-pain-versus-coccyx-pain-tailbone-pain/
The good news is that the vast majority of people suffering from coccyx pain (tailbone pain) can be treated without narcotic (opioid) pain killers. The specific treatment depends on the specific diagnosis. The most common cause of tailbone pain is coccygeal dynamic instability which just means that the joints are unstable and have excess mobility. Sitting-versus-standing x-rays of the coccyx are done to assess for whether there is abnormal movement of the coccyx while the person is sitting and therefore putting their body weight onto the coccyx (compared with the position of the coccyx while standing).
