TAILBONE PAIN

TAILBONE PAIN

Tailbone pain, also known as coccydynia, occurs when the coccyx at the base of the spine becomes injured, inflamed, or irritated. This discomfort can develop from falls, prolonged sitting, childbirth, repetitive strain, or underlying joint conditions. Symptoms often include tenderness, aching, or sharp pain near the tailbone, particularly when sitting, standing up, or performing everyday activities.

Common questions about tailbone pain

Tailbone pain, or coccydynia, can result from falls, prolonged sitting, childbirth, repetitive strain, or inflammation around the coccyx. In some cases, the exact cause is unknown.

Treatment depends on the underlying cause and severity of symptoms. Options may include specialized cushions, physical therapy, medications, local injections, and ganglion impar blocks for selected cases of persistent pain.

Yes. Many cases of tailbone pain improve without surgery through rest, activity modifications, pressure-relieving cushions, physical therapy, and other conservative treatments.

Mild tailbone injuries may improve within a few weeks, while fractures or more severe injuries can take several months. Chronic coccydynia may persist longer and require additional evaluation.

Certain injections, including local corticosteroid injections and ganglion impar blocks, may help reduce pain in selected patients with chronic coccydynia. Relief varies depending on the cause and individual response.
