I fell on my sacrum in 2012 but didn't know if it was fractured. my legs went numb for a day. it still hurts today & feels funny when i touch it. why?

Coccydynia: You more than likely injured your coccyx which is a cartilaginous structure at the tail end of your sacrum(tailbone). Once the coccyx has been significantly injured it remains tender for years. An orthopedic specialist can evaluate you and advise you about diagnosis and treatment.
