Tailbone: This sounds like coccydynia. There are a variety of different treatments that can be tried for this. I would suggest that you visit a pain doctor - make sure you also get some x-rays done of the coccyx and sacrum.

A member asked:

Since last month, my tailbone has a dull aching pain when I need to poop. It lasts for as long as I ignore the need to defecate. It feels like the coccyx bone itself is unhappy. What would cause this?
