Def go get that checked! Good Luck to you!
Thanks girls!! I just made an appt for tomorrow. I will let you know what they say!!
I went to the doctor and basically I am just a weenie because it isn't broken or fractured....just badly bruised. He gave me some 800 mg ibuprofen and a muscle relaxer to take at night to help me sleep. I cannot do pain pills at all b/c that is the main reason I feel to begin with. LOL
@ optimus22mac-Wow U have it so much worse than me....So sorry!! I can't imagine the pain you are in at all!! Thanks so much for the information it is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the update....u r no a weenie...a bruised tail bone can hurt for quite some time...and hurt like heck too!! So it is diff to know the diff unless u go : )
Take care

I could write a book...so please look at some of my old posts, and then msg me with any questions you may have. You definitely need to get an X-ray first of all...possibly other imaging also...(I've had bone scans and MRIs also).
This is a horrible injury to deal with...and I am VERY experienced and knowledgeable on the subject, having researched it since my original fall on Christmas morning of 2007. So please ask me anything:)
Also, another great website for info is www.coccyx.org... a lot of great info and other ppls stories.
Hope to hear from you:)
