Coccydynia, commonly called tailbone pain or coccyx pain, is a condition that can cause persistent pain at the very bottom of the spine. This part of the spine is the coccyx, or tailbone. Coccydynia is felt as a localized pain and will generally feel worse when sitting or with any activity that puts pressure on the bottom area of the spine. On rare occasions, an infection or tumor can also cause pain in the coccyx. Coccydynia Symptoms and Treatments Coccydynia symptoms may consist of one or all of the following: - Pain that is markedly worse when sitting - Local pain in the tailbone area that is worse when touched or when any pressure is placed on it - Pain that is worse when moving from a sitting to standing position A combination of treatments to reduce the pain and activity modification to keep pressure off the tailbone usually suffices to control or alleviate the pain. In very rare cases, surgery to remove the coccyx may be recommended, but the surgery (Coccygectomy) will typically only be considered if the pain is severe and at least several months of non-surgical treatment and activity modification has not been effective in relieving the pain. The majority of coccyx injuries occur in women because: - The women's coccyx is rotated, leaving it more exposed to injury - Women have a broader pelvis, which means that sitting places pressure on their coccyx (male anatomy causes them to sit without much pressure on the coccyx) - Childbirth is a common cause of the condition.
