What can cause coccydynia?

Most of the time, coccydynia is caused by disc degeneration, instability, deformity of the coccyx, or trauma. Sometimes its cause is unknown. A recent report found that sudden onset coccydynia can be caused by the deposition of calcium crystals in the joints of the coccyx.
