What can you do with a spine injury?
You are sure it’s your coccyx? As the x ray supplied looks like a lumbar spine shot with the upper surface of the sacrum. I would really check the stability of your Sacroiliac joint. As the entire spine sits on the sacrum. And if not stable the entire spine has issues. There is a reciprocal motion of the sacrum and occipital. So if the two ends of the body are not stable al kinds of issues arise. READ MORE

What should I avoid with a bulging disc?
A bulging disc is not the end of the world. Can be as simple as a rotated vertebra; which then may need adjusting into place. It matters more as to where or what part of the spine this disc is located; and what size is the the bulge? But the structures above and below this area probably need to be stabilized in order for your disc to have a stable supporting structure./ READ MORE
