Fracture coccyx: You could see a primary care and get x-ray or the area or MRI, and they could treat conservatively with ice NSAIDS, donut pillow,. or could go to orthopedist who would treat similarly or if severe may inject with steroid or in the rare event could perform surgery for unremitting pain . https://health.clevelandclinic.org/fact-fiction-can-really-break-tailbone/
