Got Hit On Coccyx. Started Bleeding And Having Pain. Worrisome

Thanks for posting your query.
It might be soft tissue injury or fracture coccyx.
Without X-ray, it is difficult to differentiate a fracture from others. I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.
In the interim, apply ice packs to the affected area, anti-inflammatory drug like Motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (up to 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation. Rest well.
I advised you to use a well-padded seat when sitting and avoid long periods of sitting when possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any more concerns.
