Coccidynia is classically defined as pain in the coccyx region. It may occur secondary to a fracture in coccyx or a ligamentous sprain in sacrococcygeal ligament. Patients usually complaint of pain while sitting on hard surface, or during defecation.
Treatment is mainly supportive.
Most patients respond to Ultrasonic and IFT stimulation therapy. In resistant cases, local steroid injection along with local anaesthetic may be given.
Surgical option is considered, in rare circumstances.

Thanks for the information. I had a similar problem, and finally needed an injection shot. Much relieved now.
