Excruciating coccyx pain after a fall, what's wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fall and coccyx pain: It could be a fracture or a bad bruise. X-rays will help determine if there is a fracture. The pain usually dissipates with time, usually a few weeks, ice first, later on possibly heat, and medications.
