What Are The Symptoms Of A Tail Bone Injury?

I sat down on a seat belt end on a bus trip last week. Since then, my tail bone has been sore and painful. I want to know how to deal with this. How can I tell if I broke it and how does a broken tailbone get treated or fixed? Lori - YYYY@YYYY

Hi,

You can consult an orthopaedician and get an MRI scan done to check whether the bone has fractured or not. As of now, you can take analgesics like acetaminophen or tramadol for pain relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
