A member asked:

My wife's tailbone suddenly became tender & has been for a > week. her skin is not irritated or bruised. could this be a spinal cyst of some sort?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Most likely this is : A typical case of coccydynia which is a self limiting pain in the coccyx region without any injury that typically presents in a female and is treated by avoiding sitting particularly on hard surfaces.
