I recently have been noticing my tailbone has been sore. It almost feels like a bumb on the very end of my tailbone more so on the right side of it. I never fell but each day it hurts a bit more and feels a bit bigger. Any ideas of what it might be?

You have all the classic symptoms of a pilonidal cyst.
A pilonidal cyst is an abscess or boil. It needs to be drained, or lanced, to improve. Like other boils, it does not improve with antibiotics. If any of the following symptoms occur, consult a doctor:
Pain at the bottom of the spine
Swelling at the bottom of the spine
Redness at the bottom of the spine
Pus draining from the cyst
Fever with any of the above symptoms
make An appointment to see your medical doctor as soon as possible and have this confirmed .

It could be numerous things, but since it is worsening, you should go to your doctor and get it checked. Don't wait until you might have permanent damage, infection, or other side effects from it. You may be out of alignment or have a bulging disc.
