My tail bone sticks out when i do sit ups or anything of that sort. is there anything i can do? is there anything i may need?(surgery, brace, ect)

Coccydynia?: What you are describing may be coccydynia (i.e. pain of the tailbone). In that case usually conservative measures alleviate the pain, and only rarely is surgery indicated.
