Severe tailbone pain

2017-12-29 05:15:21
I have been experiencing extreme pain in my tailbone area. I am in tears every time I have to stand up or us the bathroom. This has been going on for almost a week and it started when I was sitting too long on a hard surface. I looked at it a few mins ago and I looks very red and bruised and swollen. What should I do??
