I dont think you'd have a broken coccyx through sneezing. It may be something called a Pilonidal Cyst, which is basically an ingrowing hair. The difference being between a normal ingrowing hair which will come up as a spot or cyst and a Pilonidal Cyst, is that the follicle is set against the coccyx bone, and for a number of yrs will function perfectly fine, but the follicle can be dislodged by something as simple as a sneeze, or a jolt in a car, which causes the follicle to start growing inwards (it was known as "Jeep" disease during WWII, due to the number of soldiers who had it), and causes an intense amount of pain, and discomfort, manifested by not being able to sit down normally. If it is a Pilonidal Cyst, it'll start to fill with pus after a few days, at which point you'll need to see a dr to get it lanced. Sorry!

If there is a lot of swelling around the bone, then you may have fractured/borken one of the four bones fused together that make the coccyx.
If there is no substantial swelling, then it sounds like you may have sprained it, as there is a lot of tissue/cartilage/ligament.
Also don't rule out a slipped disc, it may be painfull around the coccyx because thats where the nerve ending is.
I would suggest going to the nearest A and E.
But in the mean time, use ice, NOT heat.
Good luck.

I would recommend having your dr evaluate the situation to see what they think is going on. In the mean time you can try heat such as with a heating pad or try some Tylenol if your dr says if it's ok.

It sounds like you have a subluxation. See a chiropractor. An md will give you meds or pt, but none of those will make the vertebrae go back to its normal position.

Yikes, use heat and cold, like a hot water bottle and then ice. See your GP ASAP.
