Dr. Kai-Ming Fu was featured on the popular resource website spine-health.com for contributing an article titled “Understanding the Causes of Tailbone Pain“
Please see below for an excerpt from the article:
“Coccydynia, commonly called tailbone pain refers to persistent pain at the very bottom of your spine. You may develop this pain after direct trauma or spontaneously without a specific inciting factor. The pain typically lasts for weeks to months and can become debilitating.“
The article also lists five possible causes of tailbone pain:
• Coccyx bruising, fracture, or dislocation
• Anatomical changes in the coccyx
• Coccyx bone spurs
• Coccygeal arthritis
• Coccygeal infections and tumors
