Coccyx pain: If you labored (pushed) before delivery, some degree of trauma MAY have occurred to your lower-most bone in your spine, the coccyx. I suggest an exam by your health care provider to evaluate. Best wishes!

See below: Sounds like you have coccydynia or 'tailbone pain'. This can occur with trauma to the tail bone, abnormally positioned coccyx, or poor sitting posture. Try using a good lumbar support to help shift your pelvis forward. This will put the pressure on your ischium. (bottom part of pelvic bone), and will shift the weight off of your coccyx (tailbone).
