How do I know if I've fractured my tailbone?

I went snowboarding and wiped out really hard on my butt. and it hurts to walk, or sit, or like, move. my boyfriend told me chances are I fractured my tailbone..and hes speaking from experience. is it possible I have? the paiin is slowly subsiding..but very slowly. did I fracture it? if so how do I make it heal within the week..??

Answer #1

I’ve broken my tailbone, and from what you’re saying it doesn’t sound broken, but it does sound bruised.

You really should have it checked out anyway - better safe than sorry.

Answer #2

yeah you might have and you could go to the doc but theres nothing they can do except tell you you did and give you a donut to sit on, lol just take it easy try not to do a lot of anything it might feel better in a week just dont fall on yur butt again, good luck

Answer #3

Go to a doctor. It sounds like you have indeed fractured your tailbone, you’ll just have to get it checked. Hopefully it’ll be just a wee bump or a hairline fracture, nothing serious. x

Answer #4

Answer #5
