Coccydynia:

Coccydynia is pain in the lower tailbone at the area where we sit down in the middle. It can be from spraining of the sacrococcygeal ligaments or from blunt trauma to the local area such as falling on the tailbone etc.

Treatment is generally supportive with physical therapy, medications, and injections. Most patients do extremely well with the above treatment with injections relieving the pain most quickly and efficiently in a safe manner. In some cases surgical removal of the coccyx may be needed to help with the pain.
