Question
ok my friend is compblaining of her tailbone hurts and she does not remeber ever bumping it she thinks some sort of pimple is going to grow there. i forget what they are called but anyway someone told me that she could be growing a tail because she hurt her neck and never got surgry for it. please can you help me.

Answer
Hi Ashley,

How old is your friend? There are some spinal problems that can lead to the appearance of a tail but they are rare and are usually present during childhood. I would recommend that your friend see her family doctor or a chiropractic doctor to find out why her tailbone is hurting.

I hope this helps!
