How long can it take for the tailbone (coccyx) to heal?

That depends!: How long will it take for your tail bone to heal depends on how much abuse it suffered. If your tail bone broke due to a heavy fall, it takes much longer than when you sustained a trivial trauma from sitting too long on an aircraft.
