Coccyx pain: Coccydynia is a diagnosis that can have many causes. Rapid weight loss is one. Sometimes spinal stenosis can happen. Small fractures or bruising of surrounding soft tissues can occur after the car ride, that can be quite painful. Also, if severe pain lasts for more than a month, a chordoma may need to be ruled out. Please go see good orthopedic spine surgeon, to have this evaluated. Best of luck.
