What Causes Pain And Swelling In Tailbone?
what is wrong with my tailbone?--it has been swollen and painful for three days now, hard for me to walk and sit on anything, and the pain is a constant burning kind of feeling. I can t tell if I bruised it, or (from the large size of the swelling) if it is fractured.

You have Coccydynia. Apply hot packs. Avoid sitting for long time. Use foam donut cushions to sit on. Perform Sitz bath daily. Take pain killers.
