Hi, I am one week into external beam radiation and my tailbone is aching real bad. Doc did MRI and CT scan and said its probably arthritis. My back was fine till radiation started. Can radiation cause this pain?

RT can make all kinds of inflammations worse. I didn't get this, but anything is possible. I had to take ibuprofen daily to get through my treatments.
