Tailbone discomfort

2025-07-10 12:01:41
I’ve been experiencing pain in my tailbone for the past week, and it’s very difficult to sit on a flat surface or mattress. I delivered a baby 7 months ago — could this be related, or is it something more serious that I should be concerned about?

May have happen becoz of calcium and vit d deficiency. Or just by sitting for long on hard surfaces. Delivery has a little role in tailbone pain. It'll be better to get consulted.
Next Steps
Consult Orthopedic spine specialist Get MRI if pain has increased in past week.
