Under good conditions a healthy fish will re-grow its tail. In poor water conditions the fishes tail will become covered in fungus and the fish will eventually die if nothing is done to correct the water problem.

Being poisoned, havinga a fungal infection, insufficient dietary needs (not getting the nutrients it needs) and on and on. Goldfish are sensitive creatures and it is usually hard to tell what is causing their problems. If you go to your local pest store on the back of all these goldfish medicines it will commonly have an illistration of symptons that can be resolved by using the medicine.

I have tail bone pain and the doctors won't tell me why so how do I figure out how to stop it?

If the doctors haven't given you an answer as to the cause of the pain, then it's because they don't know. Quite often, it takes a lot of different tests to determine the specific cause of pain. But one cause of tail bone pain is arthritis of the lower spine. If you are still experiencing the pain, try a heating pad on your lower back and see if that helps. If it does, then I strongly suggest the Therma Care heat wraps - they do wonders for the arthritis pain in my lower back (which is near the tail bone). You could also have a cracked tail bone. Have you had a fall recently and landed on your tail bone? If so, you need to have an x-ray, CT scan, or even an MRI to determine if this is the case. Actually, you should request the above tests even if you haven't had a fall, so you can find out why you are in pain.
