Reply to "Tailbone pain as the main symptom? What is this?"

Annoying but the pain is back. It seemed to correspond to a few things.

It's a week after I went from 1000 mg of Flagyl to 500. So maybe recurrent, maybe not.

Last night I also did a ton of lower back stretches that could have exacerbated the sciatic/disc bulge thing I have going on.

Yesterday I also took a medication called Risperidone that I use for panic attacks. I'm not on a high dose...only 1/4 of a 0.25mg pill. It takes the panic attack away within an hour, but I had wondered if it was the cause of the tailbone pain the first time I was on it. It started around when I started the drug. I'd been off of it for the whole duration of feeling better, and it came back the next morning after taking one dose.

My period is also starting today which sometimes corresponds with GI symptoms.

So the mystery continues. Is it pouchitis? Is it my period? Is it a Risperidone side effect? Is it sciatica? I don't know anymore. I think it will be a few months of trying controlled experiments before I know the answer.
