Hello,
I think you should do an X-ray of the tailbone.
It may be broken, cracked or dislocated. This causes inflammation and pressure on nerves. This is causing pain, tingling and numbness.
You can use Ibuprofen or Naproxen for pain. You can have rest and don't do the movement that makes it worse.
If the tailbone is dislocated a doctor should relocate it by certain movements.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
