Rectal bleed: Rectal bleed could be from several different reasons. If the pain you experience is really from tail bone, it is just coincidental. But if the pain is from the lower gasterointestinal tract it may be a fissure or hemorrhoid, inflammation in the in the lower part of the colorectal area. Have it examined.
