tailbone broken ?
(6 discussions)
im fifteen and I skateboard I’ve spent the best part of an hour searching the web for a dianosis on a broken tailbone. yes of course I fell off my skateboard, but this time I got up and I hurt, more than usual, I joked around with my friends for a while about my ass hurting, but after some more skating it hurted more. I went to the bathroom to poo poo and it hurt my lower back tailbone area, when I got home I asked my mom what should I do she said there wasn’t anything I could do except moen and whine. sitting on soft surfaces doesn’t hurt to much, but running lying down an even siting straight up hurts. what should I do? is it broken? should I call a doctor? eh?? email me soon thanks -stu

What did you finally do about your tail bone? Was it really broken?

if your tailbone is broken there isn’t any surgery to be done. But if you go to your doctor’s they can prescribe something to help with the pain and swelling that is most likely in that area to speed up recovery and make it more tolerable. Good luck.

realy oh coz I have bruised it skating a couple of times but it went away pretty quick but I think I have bruised or broken it again and the pain has stayed there for about 4 weeks and I don’t know what to do
Dude where am I?
I bruised my tail bone once while doing some tricks on my mountain bike. The sharp, piercing pain in my lower back somewhat went away, but occasionally will hurt from time to time if I sit funny or poke it . Your tailbone will heal on its own. you will just have to bear the brunt of the pain until it heals. But you will always feel a little awkward down there for the rest of your life. just ask tony hawk. Also, if you are really concerned, go get an xray.

I think I broke my tailbone cuz I can’t sit down, I have to ease into a sitting position and I have trouble leaning forward. It sensored! I hope it goes away soon!
