Description

<p>We report a case of refractory buttock pain after tailbone abscess surgery treated with spinal cord stimulation at the level of the thoracolumbar vertebral transition (SCS trial). The patient was a 24-year-old woman. She had persistent pain in her buttocks and lower limbs after surgery for a coccygeal abscess. She was referred to our department for SCS trial. During the SCS trial, oxycodone was tapered off and replaced with tramadol. This case suggests that SCS at the level of the thoracolumbar vertebral transition may be a therapeutic modality for refractory tailbone pain.</p>
