Hi, I am Chat Doctor.  Pain at tail bone - Coccydynia, is a very common problem related to posture, due to pressure of sitting on tailbone. Aim of treatment is to relieve pain and build up the muscles in hip region, to allow weight to be transferred to other bones. I suggest painkillers, muscle relaxants, site bath(sit in a tub of hot water) twice daily, + Exercises for spine and hip muscles. Avoid constipation and sit on a cushioned surface for the time being. Hope for all the best
