A member asked:

How long does it take for your tailbone to heal from a crack?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Depending on size and severity of the crack/fracture and how active you are it could take up to 6-8 weeks or more. Definitely take it easy and don't push yourself too much while healing.
