Hi,
The ruptured discs does not cause this type of pain. Your pain is localized to below the tailbone. This usually occurs when you have a fall on the tailbone resulting in an injury to this bone leading to this type of pain. Another possibility is an infection in the area causing an abscess or fistula. This needs to checked by a surgeon
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
