Whenever I sit for long like on bike, bus seat, bed or anywhere however cushioned I develop an intense pain at the tail bone end. Even when I sleep and tend to switch sides it pains a lot. I haven't hurt that tail bone vicinity area, that is for sure. But how is this pain? PLEASE ADVISE?

Dear lybrate user, tail bone pain while sitting is sign of coccydynia or back pain while sitting for longer period could be due to internal disc disruption (idd). Advise would be to consult interventional pain specialist for evaluation and treat it conservatively or by ganglion impar block with precaution such as using cushion under buttocks to avoid coccyx touching the floor. This should certainly help.
