My coccyx bone protrudes & i feel on some rocks this summer but just bruised my posterior. now my coccyx bone hurts all the time especially at night.

Coccyx: Yes this is quite painful - you have coccydynia Do not put pressure on this - use a doughnut pillow, you can also use a topical NSAID gel over the area. I would also try Cold Laser TReatments. If the pain still persists then injections my be considered - try to avoid surgery.
