I hurt my tailbone???

Question

In January I went snowboarding with my friends and I fell ALOT on my butt =P

The night we got back I couldn't even move because my tailbone was hurting really bad. It took me ten minutes just to get on my bed and it took me hours to fall asleep because of the pain. The next day it wasn't as bad, but still hurt a lot. All my aunts and friend's parents said there is nothing doctor's can do about a bruised or cracked tailbone, so they said I shouldn't go to the hospital. After that I had to take 2 weeks off from dance and gym class before I was feeling better, but I could always feel a little pain when sitting or doing something like that. Recently the pain is a little more noticeable and it's annoying. What should I do!?!?

Ouch! It takes a long time to get over a damaged coccyx as it is not possible to keep pressure of it. Only course of action is painkillers and an inflatable cushion to sit on, the type with the hole in the middle. Get Well soon.
