Feels like I'm sitting on something
Some people actually have a vestigial tail bone that protrudes a bit farter than is comfortable. You can actually have a surgery to shave it down, so you might want to talk to your doctor about it. I do hear that the surgery recovery is quite painful, but it might give you long-term relief. Just a thought!
As I write these words I am sitting on an oval shaped foam cushion because my tail bone has become an issue whenever I sit. (Google ****yx cushion) They sell them at pharmacies,

I have been in terrible pain everytime I sit for about 9 months now. At first I thought there was a lump in my car seat - it is an old car and thought it got lumpy LOL!! Then I started noticing the pain everywhere I sit and I felt back there and I can actually feel the bone sticking out. It isn't fun. I bought a special pillow called a ****yx pillow - do an internet search and you will find it. It has a cutout in the back for the tailbone and it is a lifesaver. Hope this helps. I do hope it goes away but so far, nothing
i am 4 yrs out.. and my arse still goes through bouts of aching and burning from sitting..
i sit on a pillow, and a ring pillow.... some days are better then others,... it doesnt hurt until i sit for long periods..... so on days i keep busy no problem... winter is worse as i stay in from the cold..

Thanks everyone for the responses! I was afraid I had some undiagnosed tumor or something. It is such a strange sensation. I started feeling it in the car each day and then noticed I would feel it sitting on the bed. Before long, it didn't matter where I was sitting! Luckily, I am not in pain it is just a very foreign feeling. Good luck to all of you who are having to use the ring pillows. I may be there soon. Mary
