The coccyx or the tailbone may be longer in some individuals. This is referred to as an elongated coccyx. Some may inherit a longer coccyx bone from birth due to the genes passed on from the family. Or it could be from a curved spine. This may get very painful for certain people and requires treatment. But elongated coccyx is not considered as a medical emergency.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I wish you had included the X-ray with the detailed description. The symptoms will depend on the size of the coccyx.
