That is not your coccyx, that's your tailbone. What your talking about is two very different things. Your talking about your butt, that's probably hemorrhoids, or a fistula. either one can be treated with preparation H ointment and suppositories.
After you poop, wash real good and inject a suppository, it's not had to do just try, then put some preparation H on the area with toilet paper. Sit for awhile and it'll level out, the pain or discomfort.
Especially at night use the suppositories, it'll relax you and heal. Start using Metamucil for fiber, either the pill or the powder, don't let yourself get constipated if you do, take "Phillips Milk of Magnesia" to regulate yourself.
Remember to wash and, if it's real bad, take a hot bath and sit for awhile. It will relieve it.

this could be a pilonidal cyst. you can be born with this. leave it alone, dont lift heavy things or sit on hard surfaces till the pain goes away. take an over the counter pain reliever, per the bottle. if it continues to cause pain, have an md evaluate it.goodluck ;)michele
