Dr. Edward Hellman answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Coccydynia : There is a term called coccydynia, which literally refers to pain from the tailbone. Imaging studies are often normal. Other causes also need to be ruled out, but if it is particularly severe then a cortisone shot will often eliminate it.
