Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to the injury .
I suggest to do an xray of the neck and tailbone to exclude a fracture.
Meanwhile,I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest using cold compresses for local application.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
