Coccydynia (Tailbone Pain)
Coccydynia is pain in the coccyx, which is more commonly known as the tailbone.
Causes
There is often no definite cause of coccydynia. Sometimes, an injury or trauma can point to the condition. Childbirth, disc degeneration (general wear and tear of the discs in the back) and sciatica (compression of one of sciatic nerve roots) can also be a direct cause of tailbone pain.
