Up to 6 mos.: It can take a long time to get comfortable while sitting after trauma to the coccyx (tailbone). Be patient. Non-steroidal over the counter Ibuprofen should help is taken as prescribed.

Tail Bone: Most of them get better in 2 months time. But if getting worse or persisting longer, you need to see a doctor.
