Tail bone: Avoid direct compression when sitting. May use a donut pillow to unload the painful area. Trial with NSAIDs for 3-4 weeks. Stool softeners, If it persists or worsens get it checked by a dr

See below: Sounds like you have coccydynia or 'tailbone pain'. This can occur with trauma to the tail bone, abnormally positioned coccyx, or poor sitting posture. Try using a good lumbar support to help shift your pelvis forward. This will put the pressure on your ischium. (bottom part of pelvic bone), and will shift the weight off of your coccyx (tailbone).
