I have scoliosis ... but I don't know if
it has anything to do with this. I've
noticed that when I sit for long periods
of time or lie down on the floor and do
crunches, I get this acute pain near my
coccyx (the lowest bone in the back). I
just recently noticed that I actually have
a small hole where the pain is. When the
pain is bad, I can dab there with a tissue
and I can see watery blood. The feeling is
what I would imagine it would feel like if
the coccyx were trying to poke through my
skin.
Does anyone know what this is? It hurts
terribly, and it's rather embarrassing.

All I can advise you to do is get it
looked at ASAP. Whatever it is, should not
be there.

There nothing embarassing when it got
something to do pain go and have it check
maybe it could be nothing or maybe it
could be something more, having blood
coming out at places which is not suppose
to come out it's not a good sign - to me.
Take care.

As you may know is a bend in your spine in
a certain area. Usually abnormal bend in
the spinal cord. Mine is in the mid
thorasic area. Do you know where yours is?
Is it in the same area. Could be where the
spine starts to bend out again at the end.
You really need to have that looked at as
soon a your possibly can. Probably nothing
serious, but I aways rather err on the
side to be sure.

Some possibilities include pilonidal cyst
(most likely) , erosion of the coccyx
through the skin due to pressure on the
coccyx when sitting (unlikely), fistula
tract, furuncle.

Now I must say I am starting to believe
you are who you say you are. First thing I
thought of was fistula. Good call! To
young for a decubitus.
