Tailbone pain, also known as coccydynia, is characterized by discomfort or pain in the coccyx, the small bone at the base of the spine. This condition can be caused by trauma, repetitive strain, or childbirth. Symptoms may include localized pain, tenderness, and discomfort when sitting or with certain movements. Treatment for tailbone pain often involves conservative measures such as cushioning the area, avoiding prolonged sitting, physical therapy, and in some cases, medications or injections. In severe cases, surgical intervention may be considered.
