Hi,

It seems that you are having coccydynia, always sit on a soft surface, give hot fomentation or sitz bath, take over the counter anti inflammatory, if not relieved by these measures get inj depomedrol at the most tender point.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jaideep Gaver, Orthopedic Surgeon
