My back hurts!

My backside hurts, as well as my tailbone.. Normally when I have tailbone pain I associate it with having to have a BM (sorry if this is TMI!) .. I'm like freaking out.. This pain is really weird.. I can't explain it but i'll try.. I have this pressure on my tailbone (like the very top of my tailbone) it makes me feel like I have to use the restroom (Like sometimes I have this pain when I have to use the restroom when it's putting pressure on my tailbone..) But I went to the restroom very recently and it started hurting last night and then stopped.. I woke up today and.. then later on it started hurting more and more.. it feels terrible and I tried using the restroom, Nothing happens because I don't think I actually have to go to the bathroom, But my head is messed up.. .

I'm scared and this is really really freaking me out .. :(
I've had a really stressful week and... I just don't know whats wrong.. It still hurts even though I took pills.

Help?

Did you bruise your tailbone or have a previous injury? Sounds like your tailbone does not like to have extra pressure on it.

Have it checked out. Tailbone injuries are painful. They won't cuase you any physical danger, but why deal with pain if you can get some help with it.

I don't know about any previous injury to my tailbone, All I know is that I have a bad back since I fell a long while ago, My tailbone hurts sometimes from the pain in my back.

I wish I could get some help for it, I don't have medical insurance :/

Oh wow! I don't have health insurance right now either, but my family doctor gives me a cut rate. Most of them will.

Have you been alternating heat and ice on your back or even just heat.

Do you have hospitals and clinics that will have you pay a small co-payment or even nothing and like $5 for your prescriptions. You really need to sign up. They are not the best places, but I know that this week I am going to go and sign up because I cannot afford doctors or hospitalization either.
