A member asked:
Is it normal for my daughter's tail bone to stick out. it doesent pain but one can feel it. i'm scared if she falls hard somthing might happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is likely a variation of normal & more visible if the kid is thin. With the progression through the teen years she will likely put on muscle and tissue mass that diminishes any prominence. Tailbone cracks/breaks are not rare and self heal over time after a period of discomfort.
