Hi,your problem is known as coccydynia which is charactorised by pain at the end of spine which also known as tail bone.
common cause is fall on buttocks but may be due to inflammation or swelling in the tail bone region.
this problem is easy to diagnosed but difficult to treat.
Rx
sitz bath-take hot water tub and sit in it twice a day for 15 min.
use ring pillow during sitting or driving the car.
applied local ointment application.
oral analgesics.
be patient it will take 8-10 good weeks to recover.
Thanks
