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.
Coccydynia is the medical term for tailbone pain. The tailbone, the coccyx is made up of 5 small bones below the spine's sacrum that are tail-like in appearance. There is no definitive cause for coccydynia. However, trauma from falling or being bumped, repetitive action (extensive bike riding or rowing), or childbirth can cause tailbone pain.
