What Causes Pain At The Tail Bone When Sitting For A Long Duration?

Hello, I noticed for the past few days (no longer than a week), I have been having a pain at the end of my tailbone when I sit down a certain way. Yesterday, when I tried to see the problem, there is a small lump. It is very, very small and it hurts to touch it or move it around. What should I do?

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for using healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
I think you should see the doctor as it may be the starting of a coxigeal fistula ( infection) so it needs antibiotic treatment in the beggining.
I wish you quick recovery.
