A member asked:
I'm just wondering, if you have a really painful tailbone is there any point in going to the hospital?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Generally, tailbone or coccyx injuries are managed conservatively, without surgery or other interventions. Even a broken coccyx. I wouldnt recommend going to the hospital for one.
