My coccyx area has been hurting for days now. I was sure I was developing a pressure ulcer or something, even though I get up to walk every 2 hours. Today it was draining so I gave in an lifted the tape a bit an saw this. I went to the doctor but he was in surgery so the nurse looked at it. She said it was just a stitch coming out and put gauze and tape on it and told me not to take it back off. I have an appointment on Monday with the doctor. But I'm scared that my whole backside is gonna open.
