Question about coccyx chordoma

Hi doctors, I want to know what are the symptoms of this type of chordoma? Also, 1. I have pain in the cleft region tissue, reduces with painkillers but comes back. I am sure it's not bone pain. Can that be pilonidal disease? 2. In chordoma, when you palpate the bone, does that feel tender or not? I have pressed the bone there is no pain tho. Please help me answer these questions as i am outside India and unable to meet a doctor. Getting a lot scared and anxious as this tenderness is not going away after 2-3 weeks. Or is it not going because i keep putting my finger there and try to search for any cyst or tumour there, does doing that inflames that area?

Scared about sacral chordoma

So, 2-3 weeks back i had a tear like thing on my butt cleft, it was itchy. Then post that, i am having soreness on the muscle area there. I googled it and came across two things pilonidal disease and chordoma. Both of which as terrifying me. I tried pressing the bone there it doesn't hurt, tried bending extreme backwards and a push on sacrum it doesn't hurt. But when I squeeze my buttocks, the muscle on top of the butt cleft hurts. And to check if there is any mass or not, i keep pressing and rubbing the buttocks area to ensure there's no mass that signifies chordoma, even pressed the tailbone but no pain or mass. I cannot go to gp as in uk i have to wait for 2 mnths for appointment. Btw in the previous process of irritating the tissue there, the entire area gets sore. Please help me if this looks or sounds like chordoma symptoms, i am too much scared now :(. But if it was chordoma the bone would've cause extreme pain right? Please help me
