Hallo dear friend, thanks for writing to XXXXXXX
I am Dr Vaibhav Gandhi, I am an orthopaedic surgeon and spine specialist
I have studied your case
Use ring cushion for sitting, it will release pressure on coccyx [tail bone]
With some analgesic medication [like dolo 650mg] once a day, calcium supplement with vit D
Local injection therapy will also work for that you need to consult doctor
Some suggestion for you
• take rest , hot or cold fomentation
• avoid lifting weights
• sit with taking support to your back
• take Sitz bath [sitting in XXXXXXX warm water]
• physiotherapy - Ultrasonic therapy will help
If pain is not relieved you need X XXXXXXX spine and coccyx
take care
Let me know if I can assist you further.
