Hello there..... Avoid prolonged sitting whenever possible try to stand up and walk around regularly leaning forward while seated may also help....Wear loose-fitting clothes – avoid clothing that may put pressure on your tailbone....Apply warm and cold packs to your tailbone.... Consider antiinflammatory medications.... Consult your orthopedician.....
