The Associated Press even wrote a whole story about it: âHow real-life prison escape compares with âShawshank.'â. But at least one person especially well-versed in the details of the âShawshankâ escape thinks the comparisons are â¦ not the greatest. âYeah, okay, that was a movie,â âShawshankâ star Tim Robbins told Conan OâBrien on Monday. âThis is real life.â.

Coccydynia is often caused by an injury, but it may occur seemingly spontaneously. There are many causes of tailbone pain that can mimic coccydynia, including sciatica, infection (including shingles of the buttocks), pilonidal cysts, sacroiliitis, and fractured bone (broken tailbone or tailbone fracture). The major risk factor for coccydynia is injury to the coccyx or pelvic bones.
Injury to the coccyx may lead to a bruise, fracture, or dislocation of the coccyx. 1  A fall onto the tailbone in the seated position, usually against a hard surface, is a common cause of coccyx injury. 2  A direct blow to the tailbone, such as those that occur during contact sports, can also injure the coccyx.
