My tailbone when I bend over sticks out. You can see it and feel it like a hard nub. It reminds me of a manx cat. I can't wear anything revealing of that area. Forget a bathing suit or bikini. It also hurts when I sit down for too long on it. I have to constantly shift position. Laying down can hurt too. I am 26 and I am short 5'2'' and 115 lbs. I do not remember ever injuring my tailbone, it has been like this for quite some time. Since loosing weight it has became much more painful.

Unusually prominent tail bone.
I would agree with Dr.'s Aldea assesment. This will require imaging to confirm that it is bone and not a cyst or other vestigial process or mass. However, it would likely be excised by a neuro or orthopedic surgeon.
