Dear patient
it seems you have got coccydynia. In this condition infammation at the tip of coccyx leafs to pain snd swelling. when you sit pressure at the area leads to pain. I would recommend use of soft pillow while sitting or tyre tube filled with air so as to avoid pressure on coccyx. Star tab zerodol sp twice a day for 5 days. if not relieved pleaseconsult orthopaedic surgeon nearby your area.
