Although resistance training can help you manage your weight, improve your appearance, and strengthen your muscles, bones, ligaments and joint, poor exercise form can wreak havoc on your body. You might experience tailbone pain, or coccydynia, that can stop you in your tracks. Proper treatment is essential to get you back on your feet, after which you should prioritize proper exercise form. (See References 1)
About Tailbone Pain
Consisting of three to five small bones, your coccyx, or tailbone, is located at the the very bottom of your spine. Weightlifting can put excessive pressure on this area and move the bones beyond their natural range of motion, triggering pain. Exercises, such as dead lifts, and clean-and-jerk motions, during which you squat down, pick a barbell up from the floor and raise it overhead, come to mind. Other causes of tailbone pain can include obesity, an accidental fall, a blow to the area, giving birth, and in rare cases, a tumor. (See References 2, 3 and 4)
Signs and Symptoms
Aside from giving birth, women have less fat than men around their tailbone and a wider pelvis, making them more likely to suffer tailbone pain. People over 50 years of age who lift weights while suffering from osteoarthritis in the spinal area are also more susceptible. The pain, which can spread from your lower back to your buttocks and thighs, can suddenly occur or slowly worsen, and can subside in a short period or last for more than two months. You might notice localized
Bone pain: Tiny fractures in the bones, causing bone pain often results due to the accumulation of plasma cells and weakened bone structures. The most common sites of bone pain are back or the ribs, but usually any bone can be affected. Pain is usually worse with movement and at night.
Many people do not realize what effects your body can get when it does not have the proper physical needs to stay strong and healthy. One of the effects is a rheumatic syndrome called FIBROMYALGIA, also known as Fibrositis and Myofasical pain syndrome. This syndrome is diagnosed with a history of at least three months of widespread pain and tenderness in eleven to eighteen of tender-point sites. These points include: the neck, the shoulders, the chest, the rib cage, the lower back, the thighs, the knees, the arms(mainly the elbows), and the buttocks. The pain in these areas is defined as an overwhelming characteristic of FIBROMYALGIA and is long standing. These points are the trigger points,
This can be due to several causes such as fatigue, overuse, or improper muscle use. Muscle strains usually occur in the back in the lower back, neck, or shoulder (Healthline, 2015). The mid back, or thoracic back, is both a unique and complex anatomical structure. The complexity that makes the back so unique also predisposes the back to injury. Twelve vertebral bones comprise the thoracic spinal column, the ribs, muscles, tendons, nerves, discs, and blood vessels according to Martini (Martini et al, 2014). These tissues function to give support to the upper body while aiding in the movement of the upper body and arms. Vertebrae T1-T10 articulate with each rib in two locations, and restricts mobility of this area of the spine (Martini et al,

According to Chris Mallac, the Sports Injury Doctor, gymnasts suffer many growth problems. This includes back problems. One problem includes Scheuermann's disease. One is diagnosed with this disease when the front portion of their back does not develop. In fact, gymnasts are commonly diagnosed because of the repetitive flexing and arching of the back. This disease leads to hunchback. Specifically, the spine starts to wedge out. Scheuermann's disease can take gymnasts out of the sport for periods of time to let their spine grow and function properly. Gymnasts are also commonly diagnosed with premature osteoporosis. This is when the bones weaken, leading to bone loss and severe back pain. These problems are caused because the back never has time
By becoming educated on the risk factors that cause back injuries, a majority of the general population can prevent agonizing and potentially disabling pain during their lifetimes. Back injuries can occur gradually over time as a result of trauma caused by repetitive activity or can result from a single traumatic event (Back). The signs and symptoms of a back injury may include pain when trying to assume a normal posture, decreased mobility, and pain when standing from a seated position (Back). Warning signs that should cause concern may include radiating pain down a leg, numbness or loss of sensation in a leg, weakness or loss of muscular strength in a leg, constant pain in the back or leg that is not affected by motion, pain in the

This intense pain can come from a variety of sources, including bad posture, excess weight, physical injury or stress, joint problems, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and even poor sleep. If you are suffering from joint pain or spinal pain, you may have visited a medical professional and been told that it was a result of a weak or injured joint, or even a bulging or misaligned disc. However, the pain quite possibly could have resulted from a trigger point issue.
Any type of bone fracture, whether it is serious or not so serious, needs proper and immediate medical attention. The moment you experience recurring back pain, consulting your doctor is also essential to accurately and immediately determine the cause and identify proper treatment/s. If you have experienced back pain which runs down the legs, which also comes along with numbness and tingling sensations, might as well consult your doctor. These are just a few of the common flags of possibly more serious conditions or
My tail bone causes me pain whenever I hit it or sit on it for a long time. When I hit my tail bone it turns black and blue. I will be in so much pain from it that I have to lie in bed.
