Tailbone pain (coccyx) is one of the most disturbing and widespread pains at the same time, as it can turn a patient’s life into hell and prevent him from practicing his life normally in some cases.
The German Society for Orthopedics and Traumatology defined tailbone pain as excruciating pain affecting the coccyx, a bone resulting from the fusion of the four lower vertebrae of the spine following the sacrum, noting that these pains occur when sitting or defecation.
The causes of this pain lie in exposure to a bruise following falling on the seat or as a result of childbirth. Sitting for a long time can also lead to coccyx pain, especially on hard seats, sports equipment, or very narrow seats such as a bicycle.
The association added that tailbone pain can be met through hot and cold applications, such as a hot pillow, a warm sitz bath, or a cold compressive bandage containing gel, and pain can also be relieved by analgesics.
It is also possible to face the pain through physical therapy, and it is possible to resort to injections with effective substances that have an anesthetic effect, and as a last resort, surgery can be resorted to.
Tailbone pain can be prevented by avoiding sitting for a long time, as it should get up from time to time, taking into account bending slightly forward while sitting, and it is also important to persevere in exercising and motor activities to compensate for long periods of sitting.
