Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain in the coccyx that you have described can be related to coccydynia. You need to do hot sitz bath to decrease the inflammation in those joints. Taking a mild pain killer and oral muscle relaxants will also help.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
