I hurt my tailbone snowboarding... id like to know how i would know if its broken?... and or is there somthing to do ubout it?

Xray: You'll need an xray to determine if your tailbone is broken, but as long as it is not displaced, there is not much that we can do. We recommend sitting on a donut pad or on the edge of a phone book, and applying ice to the area. With a stable fracture or a bruise, time is of the essence for improvement of pain.
