My tailbone hurts really bad. What should I do?!


Question: I fell on my butt during a softball game, and now my tailbone hurts REALLY bad!

Were playing in a tournament, and I'm supposed to pitch the next game.
Is there any thing I could do to ease the pain?

(Oh, and if your wondering why I'm on the computer if in a softball tournament, then it's because I live 10 minutes away from the park, and we had a two hour break until our next game. so i decided to come home and chill!)

Alright, well any answers are appreciated.

Thanks!

The application of heat is wrong! Heat promotes bleeding and it is likely that you have some degree of that with a coccyx (tailbone) contusion, or worse yet a coccyx fracture.

The good news is that even if your tailbone is broke, there is little that needs to be done other than cold compreses, pain medications, and a donut shaped pillow that can take stress off the tailbone when sitting.
