At first I thought it was back pain as I have had back pains in the past but it is not it hurts when I sit down and hurts when I get up I can t put any weight on it and have to lean on one side or the other. It also stings sometime when I try feeling it I can feel a little bump. I would really like some proffesional feed back on what I should do to make it go away

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hello, Thanks for your query. The lump you have on your tailbone could be a pilonidal cyst. It is common for young men and the peak incidence of Pilonidal disease is between 16 and 26.
A Pilonidal cyst may remain harmless. If it becomes infected, however, it will cause pain, inflammation and usually drainage of fluids. So I would suggest getting this evaluated by a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
