Tailbone MRI - Does it look broken?

Hello,

I've had pelvic pain since I was 10 years old (25 yo male). I recently got an MRI and the doctors said there was nothing structurally wrong. My PTs have always told me that my tailbone was crooked, so I just purchased my own MRI readings. Of the 2000+ images, there were 3 that included a picture of my coccyx.

I've shown my PT and a few other people online and they all said that it looks extremely angled, and could be broken between the 3rd and 4th vertebrae. Looking for more opinions before I go back to the doctors that said nothing was wrong - please see attached images.

    It certainly looks sharply bent. However, the internet contains many images of tailbones with varying degrees of bentness.

    are you forced to use that doctor? I would take your MRI to a different doc if I were you.

      Thanks for the reply! Yes I just dropped off the MRI at my GP's office and they're going to take a look, hopefully they can confirm that this could be the cause of my chronic pain. Even if it can't be 100% fixed, I just need to know what the cause of my pain is.
