A member asked:
On average, how long will a broken coccyx bone take to heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
6 weeks: While it takes 6 weeks for healing of the bone injury, most people have pain for longer. This is a very sensitive area. Pain for 3-6 months is not uncommon. Using the donut pillow really helps.
