Please see answer: Coccyx injuries from a fall can bruise, fracture or dislocate the coccyx. The pain(coccydynia) can be severe. Management is conservative, but if severe pain persists see your physician. Avoid sitting on hard surface, use a doughnut (cushion with the center removed), lean forward to take pressure off tailbone, ice for 20 min 4x a day for 2 days, OTC pain meds.
