Hi
Thanks for writing to us
It seems you have coccygodynia that is inflammation around tail bone.my advice would be take sitz's bath, tab.ibuprofen,and avoid sitting on hard surface. Avoid rough and jerky road rides.You will get over it but it takes time.If the problem persists show to your local doctor.
Hope this helps you.
Take care
