I am 40 years old and I have severe pain in my tailbone. I didn't do anything like get hit in that area. It has been hurting from yesterday. It has become almost unbearable. I took pain killers such as alive. I also put on some ointment like fast relief. In 2009, when I gave birth to my 2nd child, I had some complications. My son had his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck so I had to go for a c section. This put some pressure on my back bone.
