Coccyx: This is pretty common...and sometimes pain can go on for weeks, months or even years. Its called the Coccyx. Serves no real purpose...and was probably a vestigial remnant from when we looked very different than we look now (evolutionarily). A rolled up small towel under your low back will help accentuate the normal lordotic curve.
