A member asked:

Tailbone hurts 9 months after injury, what's wrong, should i go see a doctor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tailbone: A tailbone injury usually heals quite quickly, if still present after 9 months i would see either an orthopedic or neurosurgical specialist for further evaluation. You might have a fracture that has not healed and may need some further treatment.
