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?

Tailbone: It's uncommon, but some people's tailbone or coccyx press into the rectum enough to cause symptoms involving bowel movements especially when the rectal vault is filled with stool. If you still have concerns, consult a proctologist or colorectal surgeon for evaluation and advice.
