I have pain or burning in the tailbone area. I don't remember injuring it in any way. It just started slowly. When I press on the tailbone it is alittle sore. How can I treat it myself. No pain when walking or laying down. I don't know how I got it. If I sit up straight in a chair it feels fine. Just when I lean back.
Thankyou for any advice.
I am about 75 with heart disease. I am a male and alittle overweight. Six ft. tall and 225 lbs.
