Please keep in mind that before treating any condition, including Coccydynia, as TMS or PPD, it is vitally important to consult with your physician in order to rule out any serious medical conditions. To learn more about TMS and PPD, and to help you figure out if you have it, visit our An Introduction to TMS page and watch the video there. Some more guidance in figuring out if this approach is right for you can be found in the video at the top of our So You Think You Might Have TMS page.

Coccydynia referenced in TMS Books

On page 103 of The Mindbody Prescription, John Sarno writes: In coccydynia, the tendons involved are of muscles that attach to various pelvic bones and to the sacrum and coccyx. The sacrum and coccyx are often thought of as extensions of the lumbar spine...The pain is experienced in the cleft between the gluteal muscles and is most likely due to TMS involvement of the tendons of muscles attaching to the acrum, rather than the coccyx...The pain may occur under peculiar circumstances, although, as expected, sitting invariably brings it on. On page 117 of Healing Back Pain, John Sarno writes: "Coccydynia is a frequent manifestation of TMS and is probably a tendonalgia since muscles attach to the sacrum and coccyx all along their length. Proof? It disappears with the talking treatment."
