my tailbone is not symmetrical, like one
side is larger that the other. Is that
going to cause any problems or is it a
sign of something?
Also is that from me having rickets?

It does sound like it could indeed be due
to you having rickets - I assume you were
treated for that already? I don't think it
is a "sign" of anything however with your
medical history I would certainly go in
for an x-ray just in case.

nope it was too late when i found out to
treat it. From the outside my tailbone
looks normal but i can definitely feel one
side has more bone that the other. This
cant be skoloisis right?

My tailbone is always sore for no apparent
reason, maybe some of us just don't have
perfect skeletal structure, lol

Scoliosis is only significantly treated if
your backbone is angled severely.
it could just be a genetic defect or
leftovers from a past injury. If it is
causing you any pain or discomfort, you
should go to a doctor for sure!

Scoliosis is a deformity of the upper and
mid spine, not deformities of the
tailbone.
