Coccydynia, which may also be referred to as Coccygeal pain or Tailbone pain, describes a pattern of symptoms that cause persistent or intermittent pain in and around the coccyx (tailbone) area. Coccydynia affects women more often than men as some of the causes are unique to women. The pain may be activity-related or aggravated by sitting especially on hard surfaces. The pain can vary from a sharp pain to mild discomfort in the area.

Symptoms of Coccydynia

The pain may improve with conservative care over the course of a few weeks, but it can turn into a chronic painful condition and can make it difficult to carry out daily activities or sleep. This can result in significant distress, functional limitations and decreased quality of life. This pain may be described as:

  • Worse with standing for extended periods, sitting down, sexual activity, or defecating
  • Dull with occasional sharp pains
  • Worse when sitting on hard surfaces
