Coccxy: In my experience when the tailbone or coccyx are significantly injured the area remains quite tender for very prolonged periods. However, if you now have more severe pain i would consult an orthopedic surgeon for evaluation and treatment.

Be seen: I would encourage you to be seen. Just to make sure that the diagnosis is correct and there is nothing else going on. If it is from the coccyx and it particularly painful, we sometimes will put a steroid injection directly into the bone and it can potentially provide immediate and dramatic relief.
