yah, i did the same thing about 4 weeks ago...overshot a jump and landed on a patch of ice on my ass. I spent the next two days on the couch and went to the doctors and they had me get an xray...it wasnt broken thank god, but dont go skiing till it stops hurting almost completely or youll just reinjure it which is almost worse (fuckin trust me on that one). I could have gone last weekend but conditions werent worth it, so I'm going this weekend and I got some impact shorts, you might want to do the same.

tailbone never stops hurting. you wont be able to feel it walkin around and stuff but when you sit down sometimes and lean back when you sitting it still sorta hurts years later.

Were you the one that we gave a sled ride down for? just rest. I brused mine and it felt better after a couple days of just taking it slow.

i few years ago when i was young and naive i tried a backflip off a 5 foot jump, the outcome was overshooting the landing flat onto my tailbone. i got it x rayed, it was really bad but then i went skiing the next day very painfully, you should be good to go

if you took another run, then you probably didn't fuck up anything too bad.

Back on Dec 28th I got cut off going up the face of a hip, and ended up going off the wrong side (ie, no landing) i landed flat on my ass on solid ice from a good height. It was probably one of the scariest experiences I've ever had. I was in tons of pain, and ended up driving myself to the emergency room. They took x-rays, and I had 4 fractured (read compressed) vertebrae in my lower back and after they found blood in my piss, determined that I had a bruised kidney.

Doc said 4-6 weeks, and I went back at like 4 1/2. I still havn't been hitting anything too big as I lost a lot of the muscle around my spine and it's still sore.
