Hi,
I am posting here because I am very concerned, I do not know if anybody knows anything about coccydynia, but it is coccyx pain or tail bone pain.
I will start at the beggining, a minimum of 8-9 months ago, I was having discomfort in the tail bone area after prolonged sitting at my computer, (only when sitting though) for example, first thing in the morning, I could sit at my PC without much issue but as the day went on, I could sit less and less at my PC without pain, just to mention I have had no trauma to the tailbone this has something that has come on VERY slowely, possibly even more than 12 months ago, it was gradual from what I thought was constant sitting at my PC and wriggling about uncomfortably in my chair.
I just assumed it was a bit of brusing or whatever from sitting for so many hours at my PC with not GREAT posture, so I simply continued to sit at my PC for half the day without paying much attention, still, over 8 months down the line and it has only got worse, when I sit for a period of time, I start to feel the tailbone pain, the pain can be on a 1-10 scale, upto about a 7 or 8, so its pretty painful.
when doing anything other than sitting, like running or lifting, pain is 0-2 (mostly 0 with a bit of 1) so nothing really noticable.
I understand coccydynia can be caused by a serious underlying illness, may I ask for some opinions? as I am worrying myself into the ground.
