You are most likely suffering from coccydynia.
Make sure you sit absolute straight with taking complete support of your chair and bend a slight few degree forward, that will help you relieve pain.
As suggested
Coccyx cushion can be added with pelvic floor exercises.
Next Steps
Try to adjust the sitting posture.

Likely coccydynia. Use a donut cushion, avoid prolonged sitting, do pelvic floor exercises, and get an X-ray of the coccyx if symptoms persist.
