hello welcome to hcm

we understood your condition

the bone is called coccyx

1.Lean forward while sitting

2.you can ease the pain with ice packs.( don't take painkillers for long duration it may lead to ulcer or kidney damage )

3.Use wedge shaped cushion to prevent the damage to tailbone while sitting.

if pain is still there get injected a local anesthetic around the tail bone


hope it helped

thank you
