Have you ever heard of coccydynia? Actually, it’s possible you have experienced coccydynia to some extent and didn’t know what it was called. Coccydynia is tailbone pain or, more specifically, pain at the site on the very bottom of the spine, called the coccyx. Sometimes it is a dull, achy pain, but often it is a sharp pain.

Causes

The coccyx may experience pain for a variety of reasons. The Mayo Clinic cites common causes as falls, prolonged sitting, degenerative joints or vaginal birth. Also, it is known that people with certain forms of muscular dystrophy and spinal muscular atrophy can experience mild to severe coccydynia, making it difficult to lay or sit on hard surfaces.

Managing coccydynia

There are several treatment options for coccydynia, including pain relievers and physical therapy. Very often, symptoms just go away, but if they persist into chronic coccydynia, you should speak with your doctor, as it could be a result of an underlying medical condition. Usually, coccydynia is no reason to worry and must simply be dealt with, and in addition to certain medications and physical therapy, you can also use positioning methods and wedges to ease and prevent pain.
