Lumbar nerve pain: Coccyx pain without leg radiations often comes from a fracture of the coccyx itself, a common result of pregnancy delivery or falling on one's butt. However, with the burning leg symptoms you're having, that suggests compromise of the lumbar spinal nerves. Possibilities include facet joint swelling, disc herniations, disc narrowing. You need a lumbar MRI for starters, then orthopedic referral
