ABSTRACT
Coccygodynia (coccydynia, coccyalgia) denotes pain in the coccyx, which may be functional in origin or organic. Patients complain of aching, cramping, or sharp pain that is localized in the region of the coccyx or sometimes radiates to the buttocks or down the backs of the thighs. At times, the attacks of pain can become sharp, shooting, or breathtaking. Patients with symptoms of coccygodynia usually make the rounds of orthopedic surgeons, gynecologists, neurologists, and colon and rectal surgeons to seek help.
