Why Does Tailbone Pain Occur?
You may start to feel pain in your tailbone after sitting on a hard substance for a long period. Falls and other traumas may also cause bruising, dislocation, or break your tailbone. Tailbone pain may also occur due to joint damage from repetitive motions or general wear and tear resulting from aging.
During the last three weeks of pregnancy, the ligaments attached to and around the coccyx naturally loosen to give room for the baby. This might lead to rupturing and discomfort in some regions around the coccus. That’s why women are more likely to experience tailbone than men. Obese [2] people are also more prone to the condition. However, studies also show that if you lose weight quickly, you will lose the cushion that protects your tailbone and become more likely to hurt it. Tailbone pain may also occur due to tumor or infection.
