Tail bone pain is usually due to sacroiliac dysfunction or flattened spine aggravated following fall or long sitting hours. So you should work on your core and spinal extensors. And stretching of your hip and knee flexors. That would help.

Tail bone pain is common with poor core and pelvic floor muscle strength. It can suddenly come into picture after a fall on your buttocks or due to long sitting on hard benches. Please see a Physiotherapist who can help you with core and pelvic floor muscle strengthening exercises.Also, can teach you a proper sitting posture. Meanwhile you can start with cold packs 3times/ day and sit on firm surfaces( not too hard nor too soft).
