Question: I woke up the other morning and had a direct pain in my tailbone from my mattress spring. we are getting a new mattress but that's next week, for right now is there anything I can do to at least ease the pain? sitting hurts, walking hurts, lying down REALLY hurts. ibueprofen isn't working at all and nor is a heating pad. I'm at a loss.

You could try something like a body pillow (you can find them in many stores like Wal-Mart) that goes the length of the body to see if that might help some of this pain.
Also, you can try and apply some pressure there thru a technique called accupressure to see if that might be of some help to the pain as well.
I would also recommend getting in touch with your doctor for further evaluation to see what they say.
