The tailbone or coccyx is the final segment of the vertebral column. Coccyx pain or discomfort can also be known as coccydynia. When it comes to a tailbone injury, most occur in women as the female pelvis is wider, leaving the coccyx bone more exposed. Most of injuries to the coccyx occur due to trauma, however, check out the list below for other causes of tailbone injuries.
If you have unexplained pain or tenderness of the tailbone or worried about your pain, it is advisable to contact your GP.
