Recently I have occured what you have recently described. I made an appointment with my GP straight away and got x-rayed. Turns out that I have fractured my coccyx(tailbone). Its cause pain to carry, lift and to take part in any active activities. If you even have pain when you sit down for to long I would advise you to go to your local doctor. Therefore I was told that this will take at the least, 6 weeks to heal.
