A member asked:
If i had an injury to my tailbone (coccyx) because of a fall, how long will it take to recover?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weeks: A very common injury. One I have had myself. Very painful as you know, particularly when sitting down. In my experience, this takes 2-4 weeks to resolve. Heat and anti-inflammatories can help take the edge off.
