Hi,
Thanks for writing in,
Seems you are suffering from coccydynia. Is there any history of injury? or landed on butts from height?
Do you have a difficulty while passing stools?
Since there is already L5/S1 narrowing seen on the X-ray, I would suggest you to go for an MRI of Lumbo-sacral spine preceded by a detailed clinical examination by an orthopedic.
Using cushions designed to relieve pressure over coccyx - wedge/doughnut cushions will help you reduce the pain. A course of anti-inflammatory drug might be helpful. Ice fomentation to the part also can be done.
Hope this addresses your concern. Let me know if I have missed out on any other concerns.
Regards
