Hi you have a lump on the tailbone secondary to a fall on hard tile. It pains when try to sit down. This condition is called Traumatic coccydynia . In my practice I would start painkillers , muscle relaxants Sits bath twice daily and Gluteal + Spinal extension exercises. I would also advice to use a cushion / ring while sitting. If there is no relief in 10 days I would go for an X ray and/or Local steroid infiltration.
