Dear patient
Your symptoms points towards possibility of coccydynia. The is inflammation on tailbone so you feel pain on putting pressure on tail bone. Pain is not constant. Treatment is to avoid pressure on tailbone by using tyre tube and fill it with air. Sit on the tube filled with air so as to avoid pressure on tailbone for one month. SEITZ bath with mild hot water for 2 times a day. start tab diclofenac sodium 50 mg twice a day for 5 days. If not benefited local injection of depomedrol under iitv guidance will definitely help.
