Welcome to lybrate , if you have backbone problem, then there is lots of problem in prolonged sitting position as well as prolonged walking. This condition is known as coccydynia. Applying ice or a cold pack to the area several times a day for the first few days after the pain starts. Applying heat or a hot pack to the area after the first few days. Avoiding sitting for prolonged periods, or placing any pressure on the area, as much as possible. A custom pillow to help take pressure off the coccyx when sitting. Some find a donut-shaped pillow works well, and for others it is not the right shape and still puts pressure on the coccyx. Many prefer a foam pillow that is more of a u-shape or v-shape (with the back open so nothing touches the coccyx). Any type of pillow or sitting arrangement that keeps pressure off the coccyx is ideal. If the tailbone pain is caused or increased with bowel movements or constipation, then stool softeners and increased fiber and water intake is recommended. Gently stretching the ligaments attached to the coccyx can be helpful. A physical therapist, chiropractor, physiatrist or other appropriately trained healthcare practitioner can provide instruction on the appropriate stretches. Physical therapy with ultrasound can also be helpful for pain relief. I think this information will help you thanks and regards.
