There are common pathophysiological ways that a person may develop coccydynia. The two main causes for this condition are sudden impact due to fall, and coccydynia caused by childbirth pressure in women.Patel, Ravi, Anoop Appannagari, and Peter G. Whang. "Abstract." National Center for Biotechnology Information. U.S. National Library of Medicine, 07 May 2008. Web. 21 May 2013. Other ways that coccydynia develops are partial dislocation of the sacrococcygeal synchondrosis that can possibly result in abnormal movement of the coccyx from excessive sitting, and repetitive trauma of the surrounding ligaments and muscles, resulting in inflammation of tissues and pain.
