How To Treat A Hard Lump At The Base Of Coccyx?

I have a hard lump at the base of my coccyx, about the size of the pea. It s painful to the touch and sore when I sit down (especially if I lean back). I ve done nothing to damage my back and I haven t fallen or bashed it at all. It s been there for about 6 weeks now. It s not uncomfortable at all when I walk - only when sitting down.
