A member asked:
How should tailbone injuries be treated and is a visit to the er necessary if there really isn't anything doctors can do for it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, you need to --: Get the diagnosis. Just because you fall and injure the tailbone area doesn't necessarily mean its only the tailbone you've injured, as associated injuries can and do complicate the problem. Only proper diagnosis will help and prevent long term issues from non-tailbone injuries. Good luck.
