Female coccyx: The pelvis (the hinge between the hip bones) can be tipped by pregnancy, falls on the coccyx, or spasms in the low back. Pressure from the organs in the pelvis (bladder, uterus, and rectum) translate directly to the coccyx. Please check with your doctor for an internal exam and risk of infection in this area. You are having significant symptoms for someone your age.
