  Tailbone pain can make life uncomfortable at best and unbearable at worst. Your coccyx, a small triangular bone at the bottom of your spinal column, can get bruised or even fractured. Home remedies like medication and ice packs usually ease symptoms. But in some cases, you might need treatment like numbing injections or, very rarely, surgery.

• #33 Treatment for Coccydynia (Tailbone Pain)

  https://www.spine-health.com/conditions/lower-back-pain/treatment-coccydynia-tailbone-pain

  Many studies find that non-surgical treatments are successful in approximately 90% of coccydynia cases. Treatments for coccydynia are usually noninvasive and include activity modification. The first line of treatment typically includes self-care that can be done without the assistance of a medical professional, such as some of the following: NSAIDs may help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. Common NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen (Advil), naproxen (Aleve), or COX-2 inhibitors (Celebrex), help reduce the inflammation around the coccyx that is usually a cause of the pain. Applying ice or a cold pack to the area several times a day for the first few days after the pain starts can help reduce inflammation, which typically occurs after injury and adds to the pain. Application of a heat pack to the lower back may help relieve muscle tension. Alterations to everyday activities can help take cumulative pressure off of the tailbone and alleviate pain. These activity modifications may include using a standing desk to avoid prolonged sitting, using a pillow to take the weight off the coccyx, or adjusting posture so weight is taken off the tailbone when sitting. A custom pillow that takes pressure off the coccyx when sitting may be used. If tailbone pain is caused by or worsened with bowel movements or constipation, increased fiber and water intake, as well as stool softeners, is recommended. If the above treatments do not help manage or alleviate coccyx pain, additional treatments administered by a doctor, chiropractor, or other medical professional may be necessary. If tailbone pain is persistent or severe, additional non-surgical treatment options for coccydynia may include: An injection of a numbing agent (lidocaine) and steroid (to decrease inflammation) in the area surrounding the coccyx may provide pain relief. Some patients find pain relief through manual manipulation of the coccyx. Coccydynia may be reduced or alleviated by massaging tense pelvic floor muscles that attach to the coccyx. Gently stretching the ligaments attached to the coccyx can be helpful in reducing muscle tension in the coccygeal area. TENS therapy uses electrical stimulation to relieve pain. If non-surgical treatments or pain management methods are effective, prolonged use of these methods is a reasonable treatment option. In rare cases, a patient’s pain does not respond to non-surgical treatments and surgery on the coccyx may be considered.

• #63 Mayo Clinic Q and A: Tailbone pain often goes away without medical treatment – Mayo Clinic News Network

  If pain is not relieved by those changes, adjusting your weight by leaning forward slightly when seated may help. Sitting on a doughnut-shaped cushion or a V-shaped wedge cushion may help distribute weight away from the painful area. Using heat or ice on the painful area, as well as taking over-the-counter pain relievers, also may offer some relief. […] If tailbone pain persists for more than two months or if it gets worse despite these measures, see your health care provider for an evaluation to rule out other potential causes. For chronic tailbone pain, a consultation with a specialist in pain medicine or physical medicine and rehabilitation may be useful. […] When necessary, treatment for chronic tailbone pain may include instruction in pelvic floor relaxation techniques; physical therapy; or manipulation of the coccyx, which is usually performed through the rectum. An anesthetic and corticosteroid injection may help some severe or persistent cases. These injections usually are performed by an anesthesiologist or other pain management expert. Given the potential for substantial complications, surgery is only considered as a last resort in severe cases.
