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.
A tailbone fracture or broken coccyx can be one cause of tailbone pain. If you are having tailbone pain or coccyx pain (coccydynia), you may want to know whether or not you actually have a tailbone fracture (a coccyx that is broken, chipped, cracked, or shattered).
