Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that it is the coccyx that is troubling you . Sadly not much can be done about this you should take rest avoid sitting on hard surfaces and take an antiinflammatory like naproxen for 5 days to decrease the inflammation and start the healing process .
Repeated injuries may lead to delayed healing thus try to avoid any moves that may injure the tailbone .
Take care.
