Symptoms of coccygeal neuralgia, self-treatment works quickly

The coccygeal nerve is located below the waist and above the anus of the human body. Under normal circumstances, it connects 4-5 coccygeal vertebrae together. Its activity is very small, with only slight forward and backward movements. Young people rarely experience symptoms of coccygeal neuralgia. Most of the symptoms occur in middle-aged and elderly people, and they are always a dull pain that cannot be relieved for a long time.

1. What is coccyx pain

The coccyx is located below the waist and above the anus of the human body. It is formed by the fusion of 4 to 5 coccygeal vertebrae. The bottom corresponds to the sacrum to form the sacrococcygeal joint. Under normal circumstances, there is basically no movement, or only slight forward and backward movement. Some middle-aged and elderly people always feel pain in the sacrum and coccyx, which cannot be relieved for a long time. The pain worsens when sitting or lying on their backs, and even affects bowel movements, with obvious tenderness.

2. What causes coccyx pain?

Coccyx pain is mainly caused by ligament strain or joint degeneration. In addition, after the coccyx is fractured or hit, the coccyx bends forward at a sharp angle, and pain may occur when it is hit by dry and hard feces. A few may also be related to psychological factors.

3. Examination and diagnosis of coccyx pain

In addition to obvious tenderness in the sacrum and coccyx, the pain may be aggravated by pinching the coccyx with two fingers and shaking it back and forth during digital rectal examination.
