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.
However, there are many possible conditions that may be causing tailbone pain like sciatica, infection, pilonidal cysts, or a fractured bone. Pain in the tailbone is called coccydynia and it could be diagnosed either by the symptoms or upon examination that may include CAT or MRI to check for any bone abnormalities.
