Would weight loss be a reason for sudden tailbone pain? over a month now every time i sit in any position w/in 30sec horrible pain!

Tailbone pain: Weight loss should not lead to tailbone pain - if this persists i would recommend seeing a md for further evaluation.

Very unlikely: Weight loss is a very unlikely cause of tailbone pain. I would focus on looking for another cause. An xray may be helpful to rule out any bone related problems.
