Patience: Fracture or bruise - an injury to the coccyx is painful and takes quite a while to heal up. Perhaps see a chiropractor.

Rest + cushion seat: It is best to take anti-inflammatory medication (ibuprofen, naproxen) as directed and rest. If you're sitting you should use a 'donut' seat cushion to take the pressure off of the coccyx bones.
