Structure of coccyx: Coccydynia or tailbone pain can be caused by falling on tailbone or by vaginal childbirth.A lot of individuals have a tailbone the angles forward instead of being straight. An xray of the coccyx would show this. Colonoscopy with scope into rectum anterior to the coccyx might have traumatized these bones. Most of this pain disappears by weeks or months. If pain persists should see orthopedic dr.
