Hello,
Welcome at HCM.
It looks that you are having coccydynia due to injury to your coccyx bone.You should do following to have relief-
-Take rest in prone position(over abdomen).
-You should avoid sitting or putting pressure over hip area.
-Do warm fomentation over hip.This can be done by sitting in a tub of warm water.
-Take a good analgesic like advil for relief.
Hope this all will help you.
With best wishes.
