Hi, as mentioned by you, there is a lesion on the tail bone. Now depending upon the type of injury the treatment can be planned.in most cases the treatment is conservative like -restmedicationphysical therapy90% of the cases recover with this conservative management. Very few who has a broad based injury recommends the surgery. The success rate of the surgery is totally dependable on the approach as well as the strength in the muscles before the surgery. Also to keep into consideration that your age is 57, so chances of osteoporosis, less calcium and less vitamin D is possible, which will delay the healing possibly. On a personal note, I will recommend going on a conservative management, like - rest, Medication and physical therapy. I am hopeful that you will recover.
