Severe pain in coccyxtail bone
About 2 months ago I started having severe pain in/on/around my coccyx. When I get up from sitting or laying down it feels like something heavy and painful is pulling down. I've had no trauma to the area, and I am a healthy person. I've been taking paracetamol and ibuprofen but nothing takes the pain away during sitting/laying/getting up although it's perfectly fine while I'm walking.
