A member asked:
What to do if i've got a broken coccyx! any advice/information greatly appreciated on pain relief/healing time!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time: There is not much to do other than protect the area and let it heal over the next several weeks. Use a donut cushion that will allow you to sit and take pressure off of the tail bone. If the pain is poorly controlled with meds then an injection may help. Discuss your options with your pcp.
