Could some assist? i woke up with a sudden severe pain in my tailbone. i am unable to sit flat and getting up or attempting to sit down is a real problem. the pain is isolated. is there any cause for concern? is this normal?

Not normal: You may have what is called a pilonidal cyst. These do not get better without being drained of pus, in a clinic or ER. I hope you feel better soon!
