A member asked:
What to do if i bruised my tailbone a month ago but it still hurts. what can i do to mask the pain or should i go to the doc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Coccyx pain: Coccyx pain maybe due to small fracture and pain may persist for several weeks and usually doesn't require any specific treatment and heals on it's own unless pain persists for more than 2 months and severely debilitating. A spine surgeon specializing in coccyx injuries may be the best person to see, as well as pain specialist/anesthesiologist for local injection treatment
