Bruised Coccyx?: Sounds like a bruised coccyx. This could have occurred because of prolonged sitting on a hard surface (wooden bench?) if often takes a long time to heal. If you are required to sit on a hard surface (bench at game, school) it would be advisable to use padding or a device such as a donut (round, small pillow).
