Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
For persistent pain of coccydynia in addition to pain killers you can get oral muscle relaxants prescribed. Doing a hot compress will help. You can also get local cortisone injection from your surgeon and surgery can be considered in case the pain is persistent.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
