A member asked:

For what reason does my tailbone still hurt?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Imaging: An xray usually will tell if the ;tailbone is broken. Generally, whether it is broken or not, if it is painful from an injury, it will generally improve slowly. It is not unusual to take 2-4 months to resolve.
