Coccyx Tailbone Pain: What Really Works for Tailbone Pain

If you have been dealing with persistent pain in the coccyx tailbone area, you are not alone — whether you are seated or driving for an extended period of time, working extended hours on a desk, or getting out of a chair, it can bring on the same dull ache or sharp twist around your tailbone that is just not going away. Here, we will look at what causes you to have that pain, how to determine that you have pain, and most importantly, what truly helps relieve tailbone pain, including a thoughtful solution from our own line at Billebon.

What is Coccyx Tailbone Pain?

When we mention coccyx tailbone pain, we’re specifically referring to the pain that is felt in or around the bottom part of the spine—the coccyx, which is a small bone. This pain can be experienced during sitting, rising, shifting one's weight backwards, or sometimes even after staying in one position for a long time. If you are having this kind of pain, you might think: "Is it just back pain or is it my tailbone pain?''

That is a very good question. Coccyx pain (another name for tailbone pain) is very specific: discomfort is right around that sharp little spot located at the bottom of the butt-base. If you acknowledge this, then you are indeed in the right place.

Causes of Tailbone Pain

Time spent developing an understanding of the underlying causes of tailbone pain can help you address not only the pain symptom, but the reason for doing so.

Sitting & Poor Posture

Sitting for an extended amount of time - especially on a non-cushioning surface or in a slouched postural position puts direct pressure on the coccyx bone. Over time, the ongoing direct pressure can inflame the area and cause coccydynia - tailbone pain in your lower spine.

Injury, childbirth, degeneration

Maybe you had a fall, maybe you’ve given birth (which can impact the tailbone), maybe your ligaments/joints around that area are just wearing out. These are all valid causes of tailbone pain.

Symptoms of Coccyx Pain: How to Know You’re Affected

Here are some signs you might have coccyx pain:

It hurts when you sit for a while, especially on a non-cushioned or hard surface.
The pain especially shows up when changing position—getting up or leaning back.
The tailbone area feels tender to the touch or you notice mild swelling.
Sometimes the pain might show during movements like climbing stairs or sitting up from a couch.
If you identify with a few of those Symptoms of Coccyx Pain, you’re likely dealing with tailbone pain.
