Coccydynia (Tailbone Pain)

In this plan

1. P

   Purpose, Prevention & Protection

   • I know a fall, childbirth, or repeated pressure from sitting or cycling can cause tailbone pain.
   • I tell my clinician about injuries, childbirth, and activities that bring on my pain.
   • I understand pain may come from the bone, joint, or nearby muscles; it does not always mean a fracture.
   • I reduce pressure on my tailbone while keeping gentle movement in my day.
