Abstract
Coccydynia is pain in the coccyx region. Coccydynia pain can be acute or chronic. It is frequently debilitating for patients. Management of coccydynia involves a multidisciplinary approach, including injections that can be used at the bedside. Bedside interventions for coccydynia can be performed using landmarks or ultrasonography. They typically provide rapid short-term relief, but the effect commonly lasts for months.
