Non-traumatic tailbone pain, or idiopathic coccydynia, refers to tailbone pain that develops without any direct injury or trauma to the area. Despite the absence of a physical injury, this pain can be just as debilitating and frustrating as traumatic tailbone pain.
Causes of Non-Traumatic Tailbone Pain:
While there is no obvious external injury, non-traumatic tailbone pain can stem from various factors:
Prolonged sitting on hard or uncomfortable surfaces
Poor posture while seated, leading to chronic stress on the tailbone
Obesity or increased body weight, which adds pressure to the coccyx
Pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, which can cause pain to radiate to the tailbone
Degenerative changes in the coccygeal joints or ligaments over time
Symptoms of Non-Traumatic Tailbone Pain:
Persistent dull ache or sharp pain in the tailbone area
Pain that worsens with sitting, especially on hard surfaces
Discomfort during standing up from a sitting position
Tenderness or sensitivity in the coccyx area
Pain during bowel movements or sexual intercourse
Radiating pain that extends to the lower back or hips
