Could be pilonidal: Pilonidal cysts have a high incidence of recurrence. If you are overweight, losing weight is imperative. It would be prudent to see your doctor for an evaluation.

Tailbone pain: You could have recurrent cyst, but alternatively, perhaps this is coccidynia instead. Either way, prior to physician exam, obtain a donut shaped cushion which will ease the discomfort while sitting.
