Pain in the butt!: You have trigger points in your gluts or ham string muscles that is referring to the tailbone. Think flesh=muscles/tissue and not bone/disc/nerves for this pain! start self-care with a wellness program of vits, magnesium glycinate, sleep hygiene, exercise, self massage, chiropractor, yoga, heat, epsom tub soaking, and stretching. I use a.Acupuncture!

Coccydynia: Sometimes, people are born with a malformed coccyx and this can be a source of chronic pain. It often has to do with a sharp angle between the coccyx and the sacrum. If you have coccygeal pain, a plain x ray could help sort this out.
