What Causes Mild Tail Bone Pain?

Hello. So I woke this morning with a very mild tailbone ache (nothing of major concern). However, as the day has progressed, the pain has gotten far worse (to the point that I ve made a doctors appointment). I did not injure it as far as I know so it s gotten me pretty worked up. I should mention that the heater in my waterbed has gone out (therefore the water is quite cold).

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

In short: Long time sitting can cause this.

Explanation: Tail bone pain can occur due to injury/long hours of sitting at one place. Please take a pain killer for now and visit our doctor for further examination. All the best.
