HI
Thank for asking to HCM
This is really a good question, what function does the tailbone ? the answer lies with our forefathers in very old days "post human history" the men being born with tail, but with time this is being vanished (Darwin's theory), the outer part of the tail has gone away but the inner part remained called "coccyx" but now this coccyx work as cushion while we sit, and also works as shock absorber, you can not remove it, you better have tube device upon which you suppose to sit, this will relieve the pain along with that have "Diclofenac" tab. sustain release once in day have nice day.
