Hi Rose! I have had tailbone pain for months and was completely freaked out about it. I had an x-ray, a bone scan and finally an MRI and they all came back normal. Go figure. It does still hurt, particularly if I sit leaning back for any extended amount of time. For what it's worth, my onc didtell me it would be highly unusual for mets to appear in the tailbone. I would think if you had a clean PET, you are fine, but use the usual guidelines for all of us and if it still hurts in 2 weeks, mention it to your Dr. I still don't know what mine is, but as long as it's not cancer, I'll live with it!
Take Care
