Question
Hi,
I have been having pain in the tailbone area for 6 days. It doesnt hurt much when I stand or sit, but when I bend down and bring my chin to my chest, thats when the pain is sharper. I dont remember hitting my tailbone, so im concerned about the pain. Thanks for help.

Answer
Jerry,

You may be experiencing some nerve tension problems. This can occur when the mobility of the nervous is hindered. When you move into certain positions it pulls on the nerves and can cause symptoms.

It could be many other things as well and if it continues to be a problem get in to see your MD.
