Is the tailbone normal?

Question

Asked for Male, 27 Years

I have been having pain near tailbone when I sit. Attached xray. Ortho doc said that it's angulated and you're suffering from coccydynia. Can you please see this? Is there any treatment for this apart from painkillers? Please help me. I have tried painkillers already and the pain is mainly when I sit :(
