Unpleasant sensations in the tailbone and buttocks can bring a lot of physical and mental suffering. However, due to the appearance and sudden disappearance of pain, many people do not attach any importance to it. But in vain. You should not self-medicate or delay seeing a doctor, as in advanced cases, pain in the buttocks and tailbone can lead to a significant deterioration of the condition.
Quite often, pain in the coccyx area is a consequence of injury to the gluteal, sacrococcygeal or anorectal region. In addition to injuries, there are other causes of pain:
To clarify the diagnosis, you need to consult a doctor - a therapist or coloproctologist. In this case, consultations with a neurologist, gynecologist (urologist) will be necessary. True coccydynia (post-traumatic or idiopathic) is observed by a neurologist or traumatologist. Anococcygeal diseases are usually managed by a coloproctologist, gynecologist, or urologist.
When contacting a specialist, it is necessary to describe the sensations
This examination method allows you to determine the nature of the pain from the patient’s words.
This syndrome is diagnosed only with a comprehensive examination, which is carried out in a certain sequence.
Therapy for anococcygeus pain is determined by the disease that is the cause of this disease.
Diagnosis of true coccydynia is carried out according to the list of necessary measures:
Diagnosis against the background of spinal diseases
In this case, the following methods are used:
Almost always, the lower tailbone is treated with conservative methods (medication, physical and physiotherapeutic). Particular attention is paid to pregnant women. Some painkillers or anti-inflammatory drugs are contraindicated for them. To reduce pain, use a rubber circle or a soft pillow. It can also be used by men to reduce pressure while sitting.
Pain relief includes the administration of NSAIDs and centrally acting muscle relaxants, and the implementation of novocaine or corticosteroid blockades in the area of the perirectal tissue.
NSAIDs can be prescribed in the form of tablets and local forms: suppositories, microenemas. Ibuprofen and naproxen are very popular. Effective and relatively safe anti-inflammatory drugs are nimesulide, meloxicam, and celecoxib. Among the muscle relaxants, mydocalm, sirdalud, and baclofen can be prescribed. A good drug is catadolone.
It should be remembered that the drug and its prescription must be recommended by the attending physician.
This method is as popular as drug treatment. Different types are used:
Exercise can reduce pain. The gymnast is excluded from jumping, running or fast walking, jerking and straining. The patient can perform the exercises independently.
Exercises should be performed slowly, at intervals of 10-15 seconds.
It is used for pain that is not amenable to drug correction and affects the patient’s quality of life. The decision about surgery is made after consultation with a traumatologist. Surgery involves removing the coccyx.
If your tailbone hurts while sitting, and the pain intensifies when you stand up or radiates down your leg, you should definitely consult a doctor. For correct diagnosis and consideration of the full picture of the disease in the lower spine, a specialist will conduct an x-ray examination. In addition, for a high-quality diagnosis, the doctor must consider all possible causes of pain in order to determine the optimal method of treating the problem.
The tailbone is the lowest part of the spine, which bears a heavy load. When the first painful sensations appear in the tailbone area, you must immediately contact a specialist in order to carry out timely diagnosis and prescribe the correct treatment.
Most often, the occurrence of pain in the tailbone and the development of the disease is associated with an incorrect lifestyle or uncomfortable mobility for the body. Due to the body being in the same position, salts are deposited in the coccygeal region of the spine, which limit the mobility of the joints. Driving for a long time provokes poor blood circulation and limited oxygen supply to the lower back.
Frequent cycling or horse riding can also provoke changes in metabolic processes in the tailbone. Sometimes this leads to the emergence and development of a coccygeal callus, a pinched nerve, increased pain when standing up, or another disease. Sometimes, in addition to increasing pain when standing up, painful sensations can radiate to the leg.
Another common cause of pain in the tailbone is bruises and injuries to this part of the back. When you fall on your tailbone, the pain shoots sharply through the spine and limits the mobility of the body. It is difficult for a person to change position; when standing up, the pain may intensify. Such symptoms appear after a certain situation, a blow or a fall, so a person often understands why the tailbone hurts.
Pain in the lower spine can be caused by developing osteochondrosis in the back. The initial stage of this disease is characterized by mild but aching pain in the back.
Whatever the cause of pain in the coccygeal region of the back, most often they are accompanied by additional symptoms: headache, weakness, decreased activity and vitality. But even if a person knows the cause of the pain, one cannot begin self-treatment.
Only a specialist can, based on all the symptoms, determine the true cause of the disease and prescribe further actions to eliminate it. You can contact a therapist or neurologist, the doctor will prescribe initial tests and examination. And based on them, it will be determined what to do next and which doctor will be able to help fix the problem.
Treatment of diseases in the lumbar region and below, in the coccygeal region, involves a set of measures to eliminate pain, relieve muscle spasms and enhance mobility.
Most often, a specialist prescribes treatment in the following order of actions.
The right set of exercises can be a good treatment for diseases in the coccyx area, as well as a preventive measure to prevent the problem from occurring. If your tailbone hurts, you need special exercises, which can only be prescribed by a specialist. Exercises activate the muscles of the lower back and increase blood circulation.
In expectant mothers, the tailbone hurts much more often and more severely, since during pregnancy the body weight shifts specifically to the tailbone area. It will not be possible to completely eliminate pain in the lower back and below until the baby is born, so there is no special treatment for the disease, but the pain can be eased and the condition of the pregnant woman can be alleviated. To do this, you need to follow several recommendations:
The more additional weight a pregnant woman gains, the more stress will be placed on the spine. Therefore, balanced nutrition in moderation, and not for two, will be the key to the optimal weight necessary for the development of the child, and not the mother’s excess weight.
After childbirth, the spine in the coccyx area may continue to hurt due to the stress suffered during childbirth. Treatment for this disease is most often not required either. This will pass after some time when the body has fully recovered.
If your tailbone hurts and the pain radiates down into your leg, these are alarming syndromes that you should definitely consult a doctor about. Treatment of the disease can be prescribed only after a thorough diagnosis.
To prevent diseases of the spine, including in the coccygeal region, it is recommended to do exercises, eat foods rich in vitamins and calcium, and lead an active lifestyle. A person’s health is in his hands, so you shouldn’t waste it by forgetting to take time for yourself.
Pain in the lower back is often combined with referred pain in the pelvis, sacrum and coccyx . The most important step in dealing with such pain is a complete and timely diagnosis.
Dr. Ignatiev's clinic specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of lumbar pain in the coccyx area , which occurs due to problems with the spine. The consultation is conducted by experienced vertebrologists and manual therapy specialists.
If pain from the lower back radiates to the pelvis, this may indicate inflammation of the nerve roots that innervate this area. In some cases, pelvic pain can occur on its own due to diseases of the internal organs (bladder, genitourinary system). If the patient develops a fever or changes in the amount or composition of urine, you should immediately consult a doctor.
In most cases, pain in the pelvic area radiates to the groin or perineum, the rectal area, which indicates a disease of the spine.
Hello, I wanted to know... I had an MRI, they prescribed me medications, but they don’t help, I’ve been taking them for a week now.

Almost every person experiences discomfort in the lumbar region. For some it occurs as a result of a sedentary lifestyle, while for others it occurs as a result of excessive stress on the spine. However, in general, lower back pain is a symptom of pathological phenomena in the spine or urinary system.
The phenomenon when pain in the lower back radiates to the leg is also called lumbomyshalgia. When lower back pain radiates to your leg, this is a serious reason to think about your health.
If after physical activity the pain in the lower back radiates to the leg, then there is no need to hope that it will go away on its own. In most cases, pain occurs suddenly on one side of the lower back, and less often in the buttock or hip joint. After a short period of time, she switches to her leg, which is already quite difficult to straighten. Standing on your aching leg becomes simply unbearable. The patient is simply forced not to stand on it. As a result, the leg is bent and set forward or to the side, the body is slightly tilted. This phenomenon has various manifestations.
Typically, lower back pain when walking occurs due to prolonged sitting with a hunched back. But mainly it is caused by affected back muscles, lumbago or inflammation of the iliosacral joint, when osteochondrosis and kidney disease occur.

Pain in the tailbone and lower back can be acute or chronic , caused by various diseases of the nerve endings and the spine itself. Displaced pain in the lumbar region also often occurs. In such a situation, painful symptoms may be transmitted from deep internal organs and body structures.

Many sick people do not understand what to do when their lower back or tailbone hurts. The causes of painful symptoms may be different, but experts strictly prohibit self-medication.
Pain in the area of the coccyx and lower back can be present for years, decrease, increase, be permanent, appear completely unexpectedly without good reason, and also disappear unexpectedly. The pain may become stronger while walking, with pressure on the tailbone, straining the abdominal muscles, or sitting. Pain in the coccyx area can be dull, stabbing, radiating to the thigh, buttocks, perineum, and lower abdomen. Sometimes it is difficult to accurately localize the location of the pain, then patients complain of pain in the rectum, a burning sensation, heaviness in the tailbone area, and unpleasant constant sensations in this area.

Often on the street you can see a person walking with a limp, wincing at every step, clearly in pain. Most often, the reason is the fact that his lower back hurts and radiates to his leg. This problem is also called lumbar sciatica. Many people take this problem very lightly, believing that “it will hurt and stop,” but in fact, such a symptom is a reason for serious concern and an immediate visit to the doctor, if, of course, you value your health.
If, after physical exertion or hypothermia, you feel pain in the lower back, which “radiates” to your leg, you should not wait for the pain to go away on its own, this may not happen. And if the pain goes away, it is almost guaranteed that it will reappear in the form of relapses at every opportunity. So don't delay solving this problem.
Usually the pain appears unexpectedly, it can appear on one side of the lower back, or on both sides at once (but this rarely happens). Very soon the pain shifts to the leg, it becomes difficult to straighten it, movements and loads cause serious pain. It becomes almost impossible to stand on an aching leg; a person begins to take care of it, trying to protect himself from pain. All this does not look very pretty - the leg is usually in a slightly bent state, set to the side or forward, the body is slightly tilted.
This state can continue almost indefinitely. Periods of relief will be followed by relapses, but it is almost impossible to get rid of pain completely on your own, using only “folk” remedies and recommendations from the Internet. The simplest way to get rid of pain for a certain period of time is the “fetal position,” but this is useless advice if the pain overtook you in a public place. At home, you can simply lie on your healthy side, about
Pain in the lower back that radiates to the leg, buttock or groin is very severe pain. With such pain syndrome, it is necessary to consult a vertebrologist for diagnosis and prompt treatment. This will help avoid consequences such as decreased mobility of the limbs and their dystrophy.

Pain in the lower spine may radiate to the leg, buttock, or groin. Depending on the organ to which it goes, we can talk about its possible cause. Pain radiating to the lower extremities is usually associated with overload of the lower back and the entire spine, and occurs in workers and athletes. Pain radiating to the buttock is often caused by banal osteochondrosis. And pain radiating to the groin area can be caused by diseases or malfunction of the pelvic organs.
The main symptoms of these diseases are, of course, pain. The pain can be aching and prolonged, causing numbness in the limbs and buttocks. Also, the pain can be paroxysmal and quickly passing. Secondary symptoms may include fever and pain in other parts of the body.
The coccyx is the lowest part of the spine, which consists of five fused vertebrae. In addition, it is the receptacle for all the nerve endings of the spine; the sheath of the spinal cord is located here. Treatment of any back or spinal problems should only be carried out under the supervision and control of a qualified specialist. The greatest pressure and load is placed on the tailbone when a person is sitting. Most often, complaints that the tailbone hurts occur in people who do sedentary work all day, for example, drivers, office workers and others.
Treatment of diseases of the spine in the coccyx area can only be prescribed by identifying the causes of pain. In addition to an x-ray, an ultrasound or MRI can also show a complete picture of the disease in the lower back, especially if the pain extends below the lower back, to the buttock area or to the genital area.

After all, the pain can radiate to the leg, to the anus, spread to the entire rectum, perineum, vagina. It can strike with a sharp instant attack, or it can torment for years, then intensifying, then suddenly passing, as if having forgotten about its “victim”. The symptoms can be very painful. The patient cannot always explain to the doctor exactly where his pain is in the tailbone area. And this is of fundamental importance for making a diagnosis and further getting rid of the problem.
Anococcygeal pain syndrome is a concept that includes quite a lot of misfortunes that are directly or indirectly related to the coccyx.
Hit your upper buttock hard? Or fell on your tailbone? Hurts? After a while it becomes easier, the place seems to go numb. Severe bruising or dislocation is possible. A crack or displacement cannot be ruled out. Fractures of the vertebrae of this section are rare, usually only in the elderly or young children. Over time, the discomfort will really go away. But the consequences may remind themselves years later. You hit yourself a long time ago and have already forgotten that situation. But suddenly there was pain and burning again.

For the 4th month now I have been experiencing pain in my right leg, my leg is being pulled, my back hurts, my buttock is hurting, I have been diagnosed with a pinched sciatic nerve. I did acupressure, but it didn’t help. Now the pain has changed. The hip aches, the leg also pulls, and the lower abdomen pulls, pain in the buttock.

If you suspect diseases of the internal organs, then first of all you need to visit a gynecologist, therapist, and also have an ultrasound scan of the abdominal organs.
Olga Vladimirovna thank you very much for your answer. I don’t have the opportunity to go to another institution now; I live in Chukotka, but they won’t send me to the regional center. I saw a gynecologist - everything was fine, a therapist - a urine test was normal. Neurologist prescribed injections of Xefocam, Milgamma, aminophylline. How would you comment on this appointment?
You have been prescribed good medications - anti-inflammatory, vitamins B and vascular. The usual standard treatment regimen, nothing extra. Treat yourself for 2 weeks, and then we will see. Get well!
Answer: Pinched nerve. The muscles compress the nerve and lead to disruption of impulse transmission. The reason is civilization and lifestyle. How we were treated. Now there are doctors - kinesiologists. Neurologists and massage therapists are closest to them. But be careful! NOT EVERY DOCTOR IS SUITABLE FOR TREATMENT. Principle of treatment: warming and relaxing (muscle) massage relieves or greatly alleviates the syndrome (the second time it didn’t help - run away from the doctor, look for another one). Massage from neck to heel. Particular attention: neck, stomach, buttocks. Coccyx, sacrum. You may have to
Pain in the tailbone can occur both during squats and while sitting or standing. In addition, this area often hurts after falls or injuries. Pregnant women often complain about this problem. In each of these cases, pain in the tailbone has different causes. Today we will list all the factors that can lead to this unpleasant symptom.
A risk factor for pain in the coccyx is a sedentary lifestyle, and especially frequent and prolonged driving, as this contributes to problems with the spine.
During prolonged, persistent constipation, abdominal pain may occur, which radiates to the tailbone area.
Pain may occur after a fall if the bones of the coccyx were damaged and cracked or fractured. In the latter case, it may be necessary to surgically remove broken vertebral fragments.
Neuralgia of the sacral plexus or coccyx bones
Pain in the coccyx can be caused by neuralgia (nerve pain) of the sacral plexus - the largest nerve plexus in the human body, which consists of the abdominal branches of the lumbar spinal nerves, the sacral and coccygeal nerves. This plexus has a triangular shape and is located on the pelvic muscles of the buttocks (it begins on the muscles of the pelvic surface of the sacrum). The sacral plexus innervates the skin around the sacrum and rectum.
Neuralgia is characterized by the following symptoms:
All these signs give reason to suspect neuralgia of the sacral plexus or coccyx.
A pilonidal cyst grows only on the tailbone and is a sac, often filled with hair. Its appearance and growth occurs as a result of infection on the hair follicles growing in the tailbone area.
The most common symptom of a pilonidal cyst is a tumor located just above the tailbone in the lumbosacral region. In severe cases, the disease can lead to an abscess (purulent process). Pilonidal cysts often occur in men aged 15 to 24 years who lead a sedentary lifestyle.
A Tarlov cyst is a sac filled with cerebrospinal fluid located along the sacral nerve and lower portions of the lumbar spinal nerves. The disease manifests itself:
In any case, to clarify the diagnosis you need to visit a doctor.
Pain in the tailbone is a common problem for young mothers. Its causes lie in the changes that occur in a woman’s body under the influence of pregnancy. An enlarged uterus compresses the spine, which can result in pain in the tailbone. The risk of this problem increases in women who have previously suffered a tailbone injury.
The tailbone may also hurt after childbirth, especially after a difficult birth.
Pain in the tailbone is often the result of overload of the gluteal muscle, especially in people involved in sports. There is no need to worry - the symptoms will go away in a few days.

The first symptom of hemorrhoids is usually itching of the anal area. Minor bleeding is also observed, usually during bowel movements (blood in the stool, blood on toilet paper). Pain in the tailbone and around the anus often accompanies hemorrhoids. This may indicate thrombotic complications and an inflammatory process.
Pain in the tailbone is one of the first symptoms of a sacral giant cell tumor (a rare and usually benign bone tumor). Also, this symptom may indicate chordoma - a malignant primary bone tumor that grows slowly and does not make itself felt for a long period. Pain appears only when the chordoma grows to a large size.
Another tumor that can cause tailbone pain is Ewing's sarcoma (a cancer that is most often localized in the lumbosacral region).
In most cases, the following exercises will help relieve pain:
So, we have listed all the possible reasons why a person’s tailbone hurts. As you can see, in most cases there is nothing terrible behind this symptom. But it is best to clarify the diagnosis with a doctor in order to be calm about your health.
