In general, sacrococcygeal pain may be caused by bone-related diseases, such as sacral disc herniation, sacral disc protrusion, and osteophyte formation. These conditions can lead to sacrococcygeal pain and may be accompanied by symptoms such as pain episodes, worsening pain, fever, and other systemic manifestations. Additionally, sacrococcygeal pain may result from neurological disorders, including sacral radiculopathy, lumbar disc herniation, sacral neuralgia, and multiple sclerosis. Patients experiencing sacrococcygeal pain should seek medical attention promptly for early diagnosis and treatment to prevent disease progression.
