Try removing pressure from the area by sitting on a soft pillow or displacing your body weight so it is not directly on the bone. Aspirin or an anti-inflammatory may ease the pain, as may, in some cases, injecting cortisone around the coccyx. Referred Pain Referred pain is pain from another part of your body that may affect your spine. Kidney problems, various infections, menstrual difficulties, and pregnancy are just a few conditions that can result in back pain. When a nerve root is irritated, pain radiates elsewhere in the body.
Many women suffer from low-back pain during their menstrual period.
Exercising prior to and during your period may alleviate or mitigate that pain. One of the easiest exercises is to lie on your back, bring your knees to your chest, put your arms around your knees, and rock back and forth. This relieves tension on both the lower back and abdominals. With persistent pain or increasingly severe pain, consult a doctor to rule out such serious health conditions as kidney disease, bowel or bladder problems, gynecological problems, prostate problems, neurological disorders, or tumors. Severe pain may be an indication of a more serious problem and should not be taken lightly.
