Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Tail bone pain does not indicates kidney related conditions or urinary tract infection. It could be due to other condition and probably due to something called coccalgia. You can do a urine routine and ultrasound scan to rule out urinary tract infection and kidney related problems just for your reassurance. As of now you can take analgesics like Tramadol for pain relief. If symptoms persist you can consult a physician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
