Understanding Coccydynia — Why Your Tailbone Hurts When You Sit
Coccydynia is pain arising from the coccyx (the terminal 3–5 fused segments of the sacrum). The pain is sharp when sitting on a hard surface, aching after prolonged sitting, and worst when moving from sitting to standing. It affects 1% of low-back-pain patients and is 5× more common in women.
Common Bengaluru triggers: (1) fall on the buttocks (from a scooter, staircase, gym box-jump), (2) postpartum tailbone bruising from vaginal delivery, (3) 10+ hours daily desk sitting on a hard chair, (4) heavy cycling without cushion, and (5) idiopathic — no clear trigger, often postural. Physiotherapy is the evidence-based first line — 85% resolve in 8–12 weeks (Foye 2016).
Day-1 Coccydynia Home Assessment
A 60-minute home visit covers a detailed pain history (mechanism, sitting posture, cycling, postpartum), coccyx palpation in prone with local tenderness mapping, pelvic-floor screen (external only unless internal indicated and consented), sitting posture photo audit in your usual work chair, and functional outcome baseline (VAS on hard chair × 30 min).
Red flags — persistent night pain unrelated to sitting, unexplained weight loss, prior pelvic malignancy — are referred for coccyx X-ray and MRI. Fracture history triggers a review of when to allow full seated loading.
