What causes coccyx pain without injury?

I am so sorry you are dealing with this uncomfortable tailbone pain. Please try sitting on soft surfaces and take some warm water fermentation for relief. I hope you feel better soon.

If you sit for 8-10 hours daily on a bad office chair, your coccyx is bound to hurt without any injury. Make it a rule to stand up every 45 minutes and use an ergonomic chair. If the pain stays for more than two weeks, book a quick appointment with a physiotherapist.

I had terrible tailbone pain during my postpartum recovery phase even though I never had any fall. My physiotherapist explained it was due to pelvic ligament stretching during childbirth. Doing specific pelvic floor exercises slowly cured the pain for me.

Sometimes prolonged tailbone pain can be aggravated by poor muscle recovery, which can happen if your blood sugars are running high. I always make sure my HbA1c is under control so that any nerve or muscle inflammation heals faster. Please get a clinical checkup done to find the root cause.

Coccyx pain is often caused by tight hamstrings and weak glute muscles pulling on the pelvic area. Regular hamstring stretches and strengthening your glutes through light squats can help distribute your sitting weight better. But avoid any exercise if the pain is sharp.

At our age, tailbone pain can happen simply because the protective fat pad around the coccyx gets thinner over the years. Do not worry too much, just avoid sitting on hard wooden chairs and use a soft pillow. If it doesn't get better, show it to an orthopedic doctor.
