Brief Answer:
NSAIDS, Cushions, Avoid prolonged sitting. water.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your query and understanding your concern.
I suspect the pain on sitting is due to
Coccydynia.
Because of the following reasons
1. Pain worse after sitting
2. Aggravated after baby delivery
3. Getting better after
physical therapy.
Also coccydynia is more common in women than it is in men.
Symptoms of coccydynia can be greatly controlled by NonSteroidal Antiinflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) like
ibuprofen.
You should avoid prolonged sitting and sitting on hard surfaces.
Use "donut" Cushions which have a hole cut out in the center, where the
coccyx would otherwise be pressing
otherwise use "wedge" cushions (which have a wedge-shaped triangle cut out in the rear of the cushion, where the coccyx would otherwise be pressing).
Apply ice or a cold pack to the area several times a day usually for 20 to 30 minutes.
Applying heat or a hot pack to the area will decrease the pain.
Local steroid injections are also helpful in relieving pain
Hope this helps.
