		Coccydynia is often relatively severe and persistent, causing significant compromise of the patient's quality of life.
		Alternatively, patients with coccydynia may sit leaning toward one side so that the body weight is exerted mainly on one ischial tuberosity or the other, with less pressure on the coccyx.
		Patients with coccydynia often report frustration with physicians who minimize their symptoms or tell them that the pain is "all in their head." However, behavioral assessments of patients with coccydynia have shown a psychological profile similar to that of any other group of patients, ie, without any increased evidence of overt psychopathology (Wray, 1991).

		This investigation showed two major causes (48.8% of cases) of coccydynia seen in the sitting position only: posterior luxation of the coccyx (reduced when standing), and hypermobility in flexion.
		The risk of post-traumatic coccydynia was a function of the degree of pelvic rotation.
		In this prospective study, eight of 30 patients had posterior subdislocation of the coccyx which caused pain and was visible only on the films taken in the sitting position.

		Although painful sitting is the most common complaint, coccydynia is also often associated with sciatica, sacral pain, low back pain, painful bowel movements, constipation, or general pelvic pain.
		One of the primary areas that coccydynia originates from is the sacral-coccygeal joint.
		The coccyx is a common insertion point for the muscles that form the floor of the pelvis (kegel muscles) and if it is in the wrong place or is too mobile, there will be uneven and abnormal amount tension to these muscles.
