Coccydynia
Coccydynia is a medical condition characterized by pain in the coccyx, or tailbone, located at the base of the spine. This discomfort can result from various factors, including trauma, prolonged sitting, or repetitive strain. Symptoms often worsen when sitting, standing, or moving from a seated position.
Treatment for coccydynia typically involves conservative measures such as pain relief medications, physical therapy, and the use of cushioned seats. In some cases, injections or surgery may be considered if symptoms persist. Understanding the causes and management options can help individuals cope with this painful condition.
