If your pain or discomfort is not getting any better you may need steroid injections, or surgery to remove a portion of the tailbone.
Tailbone pain can feel dull and achy but typically becomes sharp during certain activities, such as sitting, rising from a seated to a standing position or prolonged standing. Defecation and sex also might become painful. For women, tailbone pain can make menstruation uncomfortable as well. Tailbone pain, also called coccydynia or coccygodynia, usually goes away on its own within a few weeks or months. To lessen tailbone pain in the meantime, it might help to: 1  Lean forward while sitting down. 2  Sit on a doughnut-shaped pillow or wedge (V-shaped) cushion. 3  Apply heat or ice to the affected area. 4  Take over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) or aspirin.
