three views of the spine including the coccyx
The tailbone, or coccyx, is located at the lowest part of the spine.
Tailbone pain or pain in the coccyx (the lowest portion of the spine) may occur suddenly after an obvious injury. It can also appear over time, with no apparent cause.

The pain may radiate to the hips, thighs, or even to the rectum. It can make sitting difficult, exercise painful, and may even disrupt sleep. The right treatment, as well as some home management strategies, can help.

This article explores the causes of tailbone pain, how it is diagnosed, and what can be done to treat it.
