Tailbone pain: You may have an abscess ( skin infection) or a pilonidal cysts a cyst with several fingers deeper in the tissue) .Seek attention from a surgeon or go to an urgent care today. Do not delay they do not go away without treatment.

Coccydynia.: This sounds like coccydynia, which is a pain in the tail bone which occurs after sitting on a hard surface for a long time or from falling onto your tail bone onto a hard surface. Can take a long time to heal up. You can try sitting on a "donut", that soft cushion with a hole in the middle that you find at the surgical supply stores. Anti inflammatories may help.
