A member asked:

Can a rubber doughnut help with an injured coccyx?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: A doughnut cushion distributes body weight in the surrounding, non-painful parts of the pelvis and muscles. This can take the pressure off a sensitive coccyx. It does not work for everyone, but is safe.
