ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Coccygodynia is still often considered a mystery, and many patients are not taken seriously with their problems and pain. CASE A 51-year-old thin lady presented at our clinic with lifelong, persistent low back pain. The clinical examination indicated suspicion of coccygodynia.

No surgical site infection occurred in this period.Key words
