Donot use heat, that only will aggravate the injury!. Heat brings blood to the area and causes more inflammation!. Avoid sitting down for long periods of time!. When seated, sit on hard surfaces and alternate sitting on each side of the buttocks!. Also, lean forward and direct your weight away from the tailbone!.
If you are in severe pain then apply ice to the tailbone area for 15-20 minutes, four times a day, for the first few days after the injury!.
Use ibuprofen (Advil), or a similar pain medicine, as directed on the label for pain control!.
You can purchase a "doughnut" cushion or pillow to sit on!. This cushion has a hole in the middle of it to prevent the tailbone from contacting the flat surface!.
People with chronic coccyx pain, for whom medical therapy has not worked, require more frequent follow-up evaluations and may be referred to other medical or surgical specialists!.
The prognosis for coccyx discomfort depends on many factors:
* The original cause of the problem (whether from trauma, tumor, or infection)
* If traumatic, the severity of the injury (a bruise, fracture, or dislocation)
* The patient's ability to comply with medical treatment
* The patient's natural ability to recuperate and heal
The majority of cases of traumatic coccyx injury get better within several weeks of the injury with proper medical treatment!.
A few people suffer from chronic coccyx discomfort despite proper medical treatment!. This can be an extremely frustrating and debilitating problem!.

Not much!.!.!.it will take a LONG time! I bruised mine one time and I think it was about 6 months before it healed!. It is very painful!.!.!.!.!.
My pain came from when I sat down and stood up or bent over!.!.!.
Try taking some CALTRATE CALCIUM with VITAMIN D!. It helps the calcuim get into the bone easier !.!.you need vitamin D for it to absorb well!.
Other than that!.!.!.!.it is just time that helps!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
