Please help, tailbone injury?

Question

So i have no idea if this is common or not, but one day i woke up and my tailbone area just felt like it was black and blue...i think i hit it against the edge of a chair the day before when I was pushed into it, and now it hurts to even sit, as in it hurts BAD...I don't think it's broken, but then what do I know...it's embarrassing as all h**l talking about it to a doctor, so I don't know if there's even a reason to go...do you think it's anything serious? Please help with any information you have...it's the most annoying pain ever ><

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Tail bones are very difficult! Even if you have broken it there is nothing a doctor can do since they will not put a cast on your hips. Best bet would be to go get one of those doughnut pillows and use that when you are sitting. It will take all the pressure off of your tailbone.

Answer 2

Tail bones take a long time to recover. Once a kid pulled a chair out from under me and i couldn&#039;t walk for like 2 days and had problems with it for months after. I didn&#039;t go see a doctor which could have made it worse b/c idk if i broke it or not. I say go to the doctor.
