Abstract

Introduction: Coccyx pain is known by multiple synonyms, including coccydynia, coccygodynia, and tailbone pain. Pain in coccydynia can arise from various sources including musculoskeletal issues, nerve impingement, inflammation, and referred pain The history and a well-conducted clinical examination are essential for the management of coccydynia. There is no gold standard for diagnosis of this condition.Although many cases are self-limiting and resolve with little or no medical treatment, other cases are notoriously persistent, are challenging to treat, and are associated with severe and disabling chronic pain.Currently, there is a paucity of research on epidemiology and management of coccydynia hence this study was undertaken.
