Give it time!: If you have fallen or injured your “tailbone”, it is going to be sore and hurt for a long time. This is a condition known as coccyadynia. Even if you are seen by an orthopedic specialist and half x-rays taken, treatment is always symptomatic. By this i mean offloading the area of discomfort by sitting on pillows or a sitting doughnut. Though not glamorous, this generally improves. Surgery is rare.
