I noticed when I do sit ups or even if I am sitting in general my tail bone kills me! I can feel it too. It's like a bruised bump that always hurts.

Ask your doctor to arrange an x-ray
In the meanwhile, take simple pain relief (paracetamol / acetaminophen) and avoid sit ups / sitting. Do other exercises and use a cushion.

it wouldn't just break on it's own. so if no trauma, it's not worth the 3 x-rays that would be a sacrum/coccyx exam. reproductive organs are in the same general area, so unless you fell right on your butt a doctor probably isn't thinking fracture. maybe a cyst is causing the pain. don't freak out...a cyst can be somewhat harmless except the pain. see a doctor though, i'm just an x-ray tech.
