Brief Answer:
Hello. You need an x-ray to check for a fracture

Detailed Answer:
Hello. For the time being you can try topical capsaicin cream, heat, and oral ibuprofen, but you really should have a doctor check this out and get x-rays to see if you've fractured your coccyx.

Please let me know if you need any more information.
