@Burnziety: The heavy feeling is most likely the result of muscles being paralyzed by the botox and unable to contract fully. If you are having trouble with beginning bowel movements, try using a small plastic syringe to put just a little bit of water (2-3 ml) up there, and stimulate a BM. Be careful to keep it very clean.
For the tailbone pain I suggest you go back and see your pelvic floor PT. She will definitely be able to help with that. Tailbone pain is often related to pelvic floor muscles, because that's where several of them are attached. In the meantime, get one of those tailbone pain relief cushions so you can sit comfortably. Ask your doctor for pain relief medication, no need to suffer.
Take care, and I hope things will improve for you very soon.
