I would like to know how did you find that tailbone got fractured?
You should take an MRI or X ray to rule out actual problem. If it is a fracture intensity of pain will be unbearable.
You should consult a physiotherapist or orthopaedist in person for complete assessment and treatment.

After diagnosis a manual therapist would help mobilise the upper end. However if things are acute, wait till the bad bruising settles
