Hi John...

Your tailbone pain will be reduced in 2-3 weks if you take proper care..

I recommend you to..

Do lot of icing in your painful area.. as frequently as possible...once in every 2 hours...for 15 mins....
Gentle massage over butt muscles... no massage over painful area...
Gentle stretching if butt muscles...
Don't best weight over the painful area...
U can use a Tyre like structure tobsit so that you Don't bear weight on the painful area...
Can apply any Anti inflammatory gel prescribed to you earlier....

Hope this is helpful for you...
Kindly revert back in case you need anymore help in this regard....
