How could you tell if you broke your coccyx bone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Coccyx: If you have a broken coccyx, you would generally have pain in the tailbone. However the only way to confirm that it is broken is to obtain imaging. Sometimes it can be visualized on an x-ray but at other times you may require a ct scan.
