Tailbone

If you have recently fallen on your butt and possibly broken or bruised your tailbone how long does it take to quit hurting?

I hope you don't think of this as a trite answer, but unfortunately it is going to take as long as it takes. I fell from a horse at a full gallop and it took several years for the achy pain to finally stop bothering me - but I DID crack my ribs pretty well. I'm so talented! :-)  I am also sorry that you must go through this! I wish you well -- take care

To stop hurting, it took me about 7 months. What happened when it stopped hurting? I do not know.
