Our guest in this episode is Marjolein.

Marjolein talks about her path as a patient suffering from tailbone pain and being in a lot of pain and with a lot of restrictions for many years, and where the path of finding adequate treatment led to strong desperation and even suicidal thoughts. Her tailbone problems made her inable to sit and work and in the end had serious implications for her career, sports and social life. In her search for help she often was left with nothing more then: 'we unfortunately cannot help you anymore'. In this episode you will get the expert view from the patients perspective. I think that a lot of people suffering from tailbone problems can relate to her story and can find recognition and comfort in her experiences.
