About a month ago I had an epic back pain, so bad that I couldn't drive. I went to the chiropractor and by the next day I was pretty good. The day leading up to it though I found resting was the only was to ease the pain.

1 - You fell and bruised the bone
2 - You sit for long periods
I would suggest purchasing a specialized cushion designed for those who sit for long hours.

Also, I would recommend that you don't sit traditionally when possible. Taking pressure off your tailbone for a while would give the area time to heal. I'd recommend something like this:
That seat distributes your weight between your knees and shins very comfortably. And its rather cheap. Usually $49.99. I'd suggest the metal one though. They are much more durable thatn the wood ones.
Resting in bed and soaking in hot baths seems to help some people as well. I know hot baths are for muscles, but its also relaxes the mind which is usually the culprit behind 90% of all back pain.
Hope this helps.
