Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you have surgery for C6-C7 with herniated disc.You are also having coccyxdynia.You need to take analgesic such as diclofenac for pain relief. For tail bone pain you are advised to use soft cushions and hot sits bath along with analgesic whenever pain.For hard to breath and sleep you need detailed examination by X-ray and MRI. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful.
