Hello,
You may be suffering from coccydynia often improves over a few weeks or months. Avoid prolonged sitting whenever possible – try to stand up and walk around regularly, leaning forward while seated may also help.
Wear loose-fitting clothes – avoid clothing such as tight jeans or trousers that may put pressure on your tailbone. Get it done physiotherapy and NSAIDS.
If symptoms not improved please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
