I've bruised my coccyx... help!

I was playing with my dgs this morning, caught myself on a coffee table, somehow launching myself and landing on our wooden floor..hard.

It now hurts to sit, move.. well it just hurts! And to make things worse I have to drive my very low to the ground sports car ( collectible, money sucking and probably for the scrap) to the car specialist miles away on Wednesday and that car lets you feel every bump and pothole...

Is there ANYTHING I can do to ease the pain?!

Ibuprofen gel.
Take 2 paracetamol with an ibuprofen. Pharmacists and GP have told me this is ok to do though maybe not with the ibuprofen gel. ?
ice pack.
arnica cream to reduce bruising.
Can you sit on a cushion or piece of foam in your car?

Excruciating and, for me, takes ages to heal. I was on naproxyn from GP and used arnica cream. Don't sit on it if you can help it, lie down on your side.
