Doctor can examine: Tailbone pain is usually from a bruised or broken tailbone due to trauma to the tailbone. A doctor can evaluate and confirm the diagnosis. Anti-inflammatory drugs like Motrin can help. Tailbone injuries are annoying because of the long healing time. The tailbone moves a bit every time a person sits, stands, or walks, so healing can be difficult. Sometimes, pain can be from a tailbone tumor.
