Anyone with an injured tailbone?

After I delivered DS, my tailbone hurt quite a bit and I could feel it shifting around when I moved from sitting to standing or vice versa.  It's a lot better now, but it seems to be getting worse the last few days.  I think it's because I've been sleeping on the couch in an effort to let my DH sleep.  Has anyone dealt with this and what did you do?  My midwife mentioned possibly going to a chiropractor but I have a hard time imagining how that would help this particular problem.

    Yes, I have an enlarged sacrum (tail bone), so it was really sore for a couple weeks after. I tried not the sit on the couch for to long, get up and stroll the house after a while. I also put a pillow behind me to help with the pressure. Just try to sit straight and not for to long.

    Mine was awful with my first and almost as bad this time after birthing a 10.5 pounder. Last time it was the day of my six week follow up that I realized I hadn't thought about the pain. I'm hoping it doesn't last any longer this time. Getting up from sitting is the worst.
