Dr. Powlin Manuel answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

It is very common!: It is very common for your coccyx to hurt when you fly especially on long flights. I fly to singapore once a year in the economy class squeezed in a very tight seat, putting continuous pressure on my coccyx, as i hardly have space to move. That is the fear I have that makes me feel dreadful.
