Tail bone pain
When I sit in complete relaxed position,legs stretched, most of the weight on lower back.
After like 2 min when I move my tail bone hurts like hell, even normal movement hurts, during normal movements (climbing, sitting, sleeping) it doesn't hurt only in that position it hurts n that part gets num like dead to touch ? I am just concerned that it should not be major.
Thank you

It seems to be the case of coccyydenia... might be due to wrong posture over bike or weak pelvic floor musculature Or due to sitting over hard surface which myt have causes stress/inflammation over coccyx bone.
Next Steps
Visit orthopaedic doctor or physiotherapist for complete assessment.

Dear friend
Do some icing onto your tail bone for 3 to 4 times a day.
And also use donut pillow or ring pillow to relies the pressure from your tail bone while sitting.
Most importantly take few physiotherapy sessions.

Get yourself checked by a wualufied physiotberapist or orthopedic doctor.. in the mean time apply ice and relieve pressure from your tail bone by sitting on a sacral pillow or any tire or tube shaped object.. u can also take pain killers for the pain if its too much in other positions too!

Do spinal extension exercises twice a day according to your level of stamina and increase the repetition progressively. If the problem still persists see a physio.

Hi,
The complain which you are highlighting, there are many reasons to it.
Without having history, it is difficult to conclude.
Please see Physio or ortho for further evaluation. They should guide you better.
