Tail pain
You probably never thought about your tailbone ... until it started to hurt.
The pain in the tail bone is centered in the lower part of the spine, just above the buttocks, where this multi-segmented bone sits. The tailbone is small, but it does some important work. It helps you stabilize when you sit down. In addition, many tendons, muscles, and ligaments run through the area.
Your doctor may call your tailbone by its medical name: "tailbone." The word comes from the Greek term meaning "cuckoo". The name was given to the coccyx because the coccyx closely resembles the bird's beak.
The pain in his tailbone is called coccydynia. The pain of an injured coccyx can range from mild to severe. The pain may worsen when sitting or rising from a chair, or when lying down while sitting.
You may also feel pain when you use the bathroom or have sex. Women may feel discomfort in that area during their period. Sometimes the pain can shoot up the legs. Standing or walking should relieve pressure on the coccyx and relieve discomfort.
