Tailbone Pain Causes. Activities that put prolonged pressure on the tailbone, such as horseback riding and sitting on hard surface for long periods of time may cause the onset of pain. Tailbone pain due to these causes usually is not permanent, but if the inflammation and symptoms are not managed, the pain may become chronic. People with tailbone pain most often complain of pain in and around the coccyx without significant low back pain, pain radiation or referral of pain to other areas.
