Coccyx and lower back pain

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi,

I’ve had severe pain in my coccyx for about 2 months now. It’s getting more painful. It really hurts when I stand up after sitting down, when I cough or sneeze while sitting and I can’t sit directly on it anymore unless at an angle. I haven’t injured myself, it just suddenly started aching while sat on the floor with my little girl (now 10 months old) and has got worse since then. I have lower back pain that comes and goes but I assume that is from bending and picking up my children. I’m not sure how to ease the pain or make it better. Any ideas?

    Hi Charlotte 

    I suggest you visit your GP and get it checked out perhaps get an X-ray to make sure you haven’t damaged your Coccyx.
