Nagel Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I broke mine by slipping down the stairs and it took about a year to get better, with some residual tenderness for a couple of years. Since then it hasn't bothered me. Good luck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcoblog Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I broke mine by slipping down the stairs and it took about a year to get better, with some residual tenderness for a couple of years. Since then it hasn't bothered me. Good luck with it. Yeah ... I'm the same. Fell down a flight of stairs after tripping on my toga (fancy dress party). Took about six months to get completely better ... didn't half hurt at the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucyjackson Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 I'm an active person too and never ever thought of a breakage to the tailbone, how did you do it? There is no real fat or muscle there so I wanna take care of mine! Iwas roller blading with a mate of mine who plays for Sheffield Steelheads, i attempted to spin round and skate backwards but i was too slow and my skate clipped the other one, i landed straight on it I have a weekend Airsoft/skirmishing battle to attend next week and was kinda hoping it would be healed but judging by the comments here i'm gonna be out of action for some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert_Baehr Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 which bit 'broke'? Did you disconnect the spine in your coccyx? Has the diagnosis of a 'break' been confirmed? If so, why are you asking us? - Why are you not talking to your doctor? Did you break the bone, or did you (more usual) dislocate it? How quickly you heal depends (I assume) on: How much damage you did How young you are when you do it (I was still in my 30's - just ) The level of pain you can tolerate (varies from person to person - you don't get to choose that!) You do, however, have my sympathy. I fell off x-country skis and hit a rock in Dec 88. It's a 'real pain in the arse' . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea where or how it has broken but my doctor felt it and said it was both. I am 35 and usually have a high pain threshold, the doctor could not give me a time of healing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medusa Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 If you've dislocated part and it hasn't been manipulated back into place then that's something that I think you ought to see an osteopath or physio about. The manipulation to realign everything is not very pleasant, but should at least give you a bit of relief once it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i went to A and E they said they do not x ray them and to see my doctor, my doctor had a poke about and i inadvertently nearly kicked his head off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have said that if i am still in pain in 2 YEAR!!!!! then go back and see em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteMorris Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 When i went to A and E they said they do not x ray them and to see my doctor, my doctor had a poke about and i inadvertently nearly kicked his head off I'm pretty sure mine was x-rayed to confirm. But it was so long ago I can't remember clearly. I know it sounds coarse, but I seem to remember that the only relief I used to get was when I was sat on the bog! No pressure on the bone!
