Bruise or fracture ?: It is possible that you injured it in some way. See your doctor for an examination. He may wish to order an x ray if that is what is going on. In the interim suggest you get a donut to sit on.-an inflatable ring that will allow you to sit without putting pressure on your tailbone.
