What Causes Sudden Pain In The Coccyx?

I have had a sudden onset of pain in my coccyx. I haven t fallen to cause the pain. It hurts when I sit and stand and it almost feels like I need to move my bowels when I don t have to. I have had a herniated disc between L5 and S1 that was corrected with surgery 3 years ago. I m wondering what I can do to ease the pain and if this is something to see my doctor about.

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are suffering from coccyxdynia. It's treatment is hot sits bath, avoid sittings on hard seat. Avoid long sitting. Analgesic such as ibuprofen can be taken for pain relief. vitamin B and C is useful. Vitamin D can be of help if it's level is low. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health. Take care.
