Tailbone Pain
I am experiencing tailbone pain and little swelling since a week. The pain is spreading to the nearby buttock region as well and the region seems stiff. I have tried applying heat to the region. I can't recall any accidental falls onto my tailbone. I am experiencing pain while sitting and while changing position from sitting to standing. Any activity that involves moving the muscles of that area is leading to pain.
