I have a seat cushion from Purple in my car and I used to have one at my office too. They are expensive, $50-80 I think, but I think it's worth it. I can't even explain to you how much of a difference it makes for me. I used to have to fly long flights (>12hr) and it makes all the difference in the world.
​
I highly recommend the Royal (here on Amazon)
But I also have an Everywhere (also on Amazon)
Congrats! And normal pillows aren't typically meant to be sat on. You could look into something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Everlasting-Comfort-Cushion-Designed-Tailbone/dp/B01EBDV9BU/
I would definitely get one. I have an office job and I have to sit for multiple hours a day. I have had this cushion for about two years and it’s still holding up. I would also suggest getting up to walk around a little every hour or get a standing desk.

I’ve used that for both my car and desk chair :)
I got one of these tailbone relief cushions when I bruised my tailbone, and now I'm just using it for posture and comfort. Anyone who sits in my chair at work says it's soooo comfortable and they want one.
I bought this last week and it has made chair sitting a pleasure again! Total game changer.
Edited sorry for ugly link, I need someone to teach me how to make pretty links.
I would echo a lot of the recommendations above but also get a cushion to make it more comfortable when you have to sit like this one
Wow this company charges like $100 for that seat cushion? I saw literally the same thing 4 years ago for like $20.
I know it’s hard. I’m sorry. If you can take breaks to get off of your tailbone, try. Also if you don’t have a coccyx cushion, I highly recommend one. Amazon has some good ones. I use this one and like it.

I got a cushion to help with that.. it still gets sore but less and it takes longer to get to that point

It’s a company called purple. I tried one and didn’t care for it at all. Mine was a free knock off from the company though.
Tennis ball method works. Also, no wallets in back pockets, and try not to cross your feet when you sleep.

I have used the Purple Ultimate Seat Cushion for years now and swear by it. Can't remember what I paid for it, probably used Pilot points anyway. Beware of knockoffs on Amazon
Gives me about 3 or 4 hours before my ass starts to hurt
I would try to see a doctor if you can and try to get an X-Ray. I also would recommend investing in a coccyx pillow if you think it’s going to be an issue that lasts for more than a week. It’ll help take the pressure off of your tailbone and you’ll be much more comfortable throughout the day. My wife fractured her tailbone and this helped her a lot.

Did my research and felt it was the best one based on having enough review while also being reasonably priced. I keep it in a re-usable Lululemon bag as it's a bit too big to stuff into my backpack.
I can explain the ass pain from sitting, if it is like me -
They basically field dressed me like a deer - cut around the anal ring, and into the body cavity, removing the end 20 cm of guts and my anus. This when stitched closed left my coccyx [tail bone] unsupported by the wodge of tissues normally found there, so when I sit for a period of time [starts around an hour, depending on posture] which stresses out my tailbone, and causes it to be painful.
I combat this by snipping a lidocaine patch into thirds, and using each third directly over the tailbone to dull out any general pain. For when I am in my car, I use one of theseat cushions that has the cut out for the coccyx.
I have the same problem. Bought this thing and it helps quite a bit. Also, because you can adjust the lumbar up, the height difference of sitting on the cushion is compensated for. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01EBDV9BU?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Good luck 🙂
My spouse has chronic pain and fractured their tailbone a few years ago. One of the only things that helped them throughout the day was a tailbone support pillow. They used it everywhere they sat and it helped a lot with the pressure. Ice also seemed to help the most.
By the one you bought was it this one https://www.amazon.ca/Everlasting-Comfort-Coussin-mousse-m%C3%A9moire/dp/B01EBDV9BU/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=15NAZNBDRXGM1&keywords=coccyx+pillow&qid=1659331128&sprefix=coccyx+pillow%2Caps%2C233&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5j...?
That's actually the best.pillow on amazon currently but costs double the amount of the pillow I linked previously. I also went to see it's reviews and it were tall great and some said it's really bad and a waste of money. Every pillow review under 30 dollars has negativity I'm really stressed in which one truly is the right one for me been months I didn't buy because of this reason
The one for your legs could be just substituted with pillow, no? I have three of these coccyx cushions: one for my car, for my chair at home, and one for the office. I've been using them for about a year and they've held up in terms of quality.

I bought this one for my mother, who has a pressure sore, and then bought it for myself after my biopsy. I use it on my hard sewing chair and it helps. Check this out! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TYHMZFG?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&ref_=cm_sw_r_ud_dp_SCPY35KVYWWEVZ8HRVWM
Stay away from donut shaped cushion. It will make your hemmy worse. Get a coccyx cushion like this.
Vendors were selling these purple pillow seat cushions like crazy at the 2019 WSOP. I have a ruptured disc in my lower back and this pillow allows me to play long sessions relatively pain free.

Well, I guess you could try putting some pillows on the seat to gain some height or try something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Everlasting-Comfort-Orthopedic-Sciatica-Tailbone/dp/B01EBDV9BU/ref=asc\_df\_B01EBDV9BU/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309968320948&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2403420583449166614&hvpone=&hvpt...

This guy right here came with me everywhere. Car, restaurants, friend’s houses. Tough to fit into some computer chairs, but great for the couch/recliner.
I've found that work from home call center work can be a good option. Allows me to use tons of heating pads/etc and not put too much effort towards appearance/commuting/etc. Sitting for a long time can be difficult too so getting a good seat pad (I recommend this one Everlasting Comfort Seat Cushion Pillow for Office Chair - Sit Longer, Feel Better - Butt, Tailbone, Back, Coccyx, Sciatica Memory Foam Cushions - Computer Desk Pain Relief Pad https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01EBDV9BU/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_BYECP922TDS3J42K29KQ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1). Voltaren gel and heating pads for pain; you're so incredibly strong for making it even 2 hours 💪💜. Things will get better; it will take time and medication trials and fails but I promise it can get better!!
I found this pillow to be very helpful for car rides/sitting in chairs.
Hard candies to help with dry mouth if you get UL b/c the bladder spasm meds make your mouth dry. Lots of extra abds pads were very helpful for my scrotoplasty. Portable bidet is a good idea. I used a peri bottle. You won’t need the pump or silicone gel for a while so you can probably leave that at home.

The right cushion makes a huge difference- this is the one you want to get. Without it I still can’t sit comfortably. It was close to 6 months before I could sit for more than 15min. If you can, working from your bed reclined is a good option- this table is great for that. For those 6 months I stood or kneeled exclusively since I couldn’t work from my bed.
