Myopathy is a muscular disease in which the muscle fibers do not function for any one of many reasons, resulting in muscular weakness. Myopathy simply means muscle disease (myo- Greek Î¼ÏÎ¿ muscle + pathos -pathy Greek suffering).
Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is a type of tumor known as a teratoma that develops at the base of the coccyx (tailbone) and is thought to be derived from the primitive streak.
Symptoms may include difficulty with sitting, pain with deep penetration during intercourse (for women), constipation and even severe headaches. Some people also report concurrent back pain. A fall, surgery or accident can move the tailbone out of its normal place, causing constipation, tailbone or lower back pain. In all of these situations, the coccyx may be pushed into an awkward angle. The consequent pull on support ligaments and nerves can cause moderate to debilitating tailbone pain.
