Why does my coccyx hurt?

(2 posts)
  1. I suggest you to go see a doctor ASAP. Persistent pain for 3 months is not a good sign. Most likely your doctor will order XRAYs to see if it is broken or subluxated. Did you have any history of trauma?

    You have some tight muscles there that need to be released. Going to a dr. might get you some pain pills or p.t., but not a real solution. They like to build muscle there but not good at releasing them. You can do this one yourself and it works quit nicely. I was surprised at how well it did when I used it. Here is how to release the muscles around your tailbone:
    Lower Back, Lumbar:
    While sitting place your hands behind your body just above the buttocks and press in on the muscles next to the spine and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your self forward as far as you can. Then release the pressure but hold your body there for another 30 seconds. Move a few inches down and do it again and keep repeating until you reach the end of your tailbone.
    For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling, then remain at ease.
