A member asked:
How long does it take for the coccyx to heal from a bruise? and what should i do to let it heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can take days to weeks. An X-ray may be needed to be sure it is a bruise and not a fracture. If it is a bruise, at the beginning, icing the area can help. Also, taking ibuprofen if you have no medical contraindication to taking that. Then sitting on a soft pillow/cushion can help with the discomfort. Hope you feel better soon!
