My girl best friend is having pain in her tailbone when she assumes the laying position on her back and the standing position and she is 13 years old.

Not normal: that would mean she always has the pain, except when sitting? Please encourage her to discuss this with her parents, as she might get some relief if someone helps her figure out why. Good luck. Zmd

See below: Sounds like you have coccydynia or 'tailbone pain'. This can occur with trauma to the tail bone, abnormally positioned coccyx, or poor sitting posture. Try using a good lumbar support to help shift your pelvis forward. This will put the pressure on your ischium. (bottom part of pelvic bone), and will shift the weight off of your coccyx (tailbone).
