Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this severe pain that you have been experiencing. From the information you have provided, this pain raises the suspicion of coccydynia. It can be caused by trauma to the coccyx during a fall, prolonged sitting on a hard or narrow surface,etc.

Management mainly involve modifying your sitting posture, physical therapy and trying some pain medications. depending on the severity of symptoms and response to treatment, you may be referred for more specialized care with an orthopedic surgeon, physical therapist, anesthesiologist, etc.
