Excruciating back pain

What can I do to try to help this back pain? Almost feels like my tail bone.. I've tried a heating pad, hot baths, laying flat on my back, and taking Tylenol.. I'm 28 weeks pregnant and this is my second pregnancy. I never experienced this with my first. The pain gets so bad I can't do anything but sit or lay still.!

My tailbone fractured during pregnancy. I would say get a pillow to sit on with the tailbone cut out but it sounds like sitting on it helps you. I would talk to your Dr.

I had bad tail bone pain with my first pregnancy and my ob told me to get like a Big excercise ball or maybe a small kids ball and lean up against the wall with the ball at your tailbone and move around to help massage the area.
