General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

It looks like you should get clinically examined & get repeat X-Ray done to detect the degree of injury you have on the tailbone. Tailbone injury / fracture takes time to heal. Consult an orthopedics & get treated at the earliest. In the meantime, sit on a doughnut cushion / pillow, take NSAIDS for relieve, avoid sitting for a long time(change positions). Avoid constipation for better bowel movement.

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

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
