Severe tailbone pain
I have been experiencing extreme pain in my tailbone area. I am in tears every time I have to stand up or us the bathroom. This has been going on for almost a week and it started when I was sitting too long on a hard surface. I looked at it a few mins ago and I looks very red and bruised and swollen. What should I do??
