Hello,
Thanks for your query.
From description it seems to be bruised tailbone. Do hot fomentation over sacrum. Use ring cushion and take sitz bath [sitting in lukewarm water for 10 min]. Take analgesic like nucoxia 90 once daily after consulting with your doctor.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
