Healing coccyx pain?

Question

I'm 13 years old and about 3 months ago i had been rollerskating down a hill with my friend. I ended up hitting the curb,falling back onto the ground on my butt. The pain was terrible for a few weeks but i knew my coccyx was not broken because i was able to sit down.I had iced it and used a heating pad and i hadn't sat down a lot. To this day my tailbone still hurts and i think its bruised? It hurts when i sit down or putting pressure on it.

How long does this take to heal and what should i do ?

Answer 1

I'm not sure how long it takes to heal, but, if I were you, I would go to the doctor just to make sure that nothing's going on that's more serious than a bruised tailbone. Good luck and I hope you get to feeling better.
