Hello,
Sometimes inflammation left after yhe injury is the sole cause for pain,even after the injury heals.
As per your history your x rays didnt shown any fracture,so there are high chances of bursitis as the cause of pain.
You need to avoid pressure on your tail bone,need to do ergometric exercises,sit on tube pillows only.
If even after 4 wks of physitherapy and rest your pain doesnt subsides you have to go for for evaluation with imaging.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Rohan Shanker Tiwari
