    painful tailbone

    ok so this is what is happening. I have not fallen or bumped it at all but for the last few weeks my tailbone has been very sore when sitting. It also really hurts to press on the end of it. Driving is hard because if I go over speed bumps it jolts me and hurts. I'm not sure what this is from or if it will just get better by itself.
    Does anyone have any insight as to what it might be and how I could fix it?

    thanks liz

    Could maybe have a cyst or something on the end of it.. I would go see your doctor about it

    I was just on google and theres a condition called coccydynia.

    Heres the website that i found: Symptoms of coccydynia, tail bone pain

    Dont want to scare you but its something you should get checked out, hopefully its nothing.

    hi
    well i still have this. i certainly have not given birth or been preg so it can't be that. when i have a bit of money i might go to a physio too.
