Coccydynia is a term used to describe persistent pain in the tailbone. The tailbone, also known as the coccyx, is located at the very bottom of the spine. Coccydynia is typically experienced as localised pain that worsens when sitting or with activities that put pressure on the bottom of the spine. This condition is more common in women than in men and is often caused by trauma to the tailbone or surrounding area, such as a backward fall or childbirth. In some rare cases, an infection or tumour can also cause pain in the coccyx.
