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.
About 4 days ago I've noticed that the tissue around my tailbone has become red and swollen. It's very painful to sit and lie on. I don't recall anything that could've caused this injury. The swollen area doesn't move around so I'm not sure if this is a cyst.
