Coccydynia: Tail bone pain can be very annoying as you are well aware. Nsaids, rest, ice, taking off the pressure when sitting by using a "donut pillow" can help. There is a good web-site/link i attached from the mayo clinic that is helpful to educate you. If pain persists-see dr. http://www.mayoclinic.org/tailbone-pain/expert-answers/faq-20058211.
