Abstract

Pain in the coccyx region is known as coccydynia or coccygodynia. Coccygeal pain has been documented since the 16th century, according to Simpson, coccygeal pain has been recognised for hundreds of years, treating it can be challenging and occasionally contentious due to the complex nature of coccygeal pain. Its genesis is influenced by numerous physiological and psychological factors. With or without conservative treatment, most occurrences of coccydynia recover within weeks to months, but in a small number of people, the pain can last a long time and be incapacitating. Female gender and obesity have been linked to an increased chance of acquiring the condition. The anatomy, physiology, diagnosis and therapy of coccydynia are briefly discussed in this Study. For individuals with intractable coccyx discomfort, a multidisciplinary strategy including physical therapy, ergonomic modifications, drugs, injections, and potentially psychotherapy has the best chance of recovery.
