Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor " service.
I have read your query.
At this point, imaging studies ( CT scan of the low spine including the tail bone) are necessary to evaluate the degree of the damage.
In mean time, rest and painkillers such as ibuprofen could be used for the pain.
Discuss with your Doctor for these issues.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
