Coccydynia: Tailbone pain can occur with or without injury. Only real concern is to exclude a sacral tumor (extremely rare). If bowel/bladder habits normal, probably ok. Treatment included nsaid's, and a sitting pillow. Not a doughnut, but a foam wedge with triangle cutout. This keeps you sitting leaning forward without pressure on the coccyx. If persistent, removal is rarely needed but successful.

Coccygodynia: Mist often, this type of pain resolves over time (may take months). A sacral doughnut cushion is often prescribed, and sometimes pelvic exercises may help). In more resilient cases, pain injections can help. Surgery is rarely performed.
