so friday i was inlining at our skatepark and i came down wrong from a qp stall and fell back onto my ass. Ever since then (todays wednesday)it has hurt like a BITCH and has limited quite a few activities.  

just wondering if this has happened to other people and if i broke my tailbone or what not
when is gonna stop hurting or what can i do to make it stop hurting?
thanks

yea i'm pretty sure i chipped my tailbone. i have no clue when, but for the past like 4 months i can move the tip around and its definately chipped and it hurts like crazy. plus i can't sit down flat on the ground, i have to like lean to the side on one butt cheek. i asked some legit doctor/trainer dude and he said theres nothing you can do about it and eventually it should heal on its own. so i feel your pain dude, and hang in there

yeah this prettty much happened to me too, except i was snowskating or something, just try not to land on it again and sit on soft things, it sucks but it should go back to normal in a week or two, maybe ice it too

I fell onto a rail the last day skiing for me 4/20 doing a bs switch up and slammed my tailbone/lowerback onto the end of the rail and it hurt a lot for about 3 weeks then it slowly faded and now it only is real stiff when I wake up in the morning. just stretch out your back and hopefully that helps.

what purpose do those rouge bones serve anyway? it'd be so gnar to have a tail.

ok thanks guys, glad to see that im not the only one. im pretty sure i didnt fracture it because it feels ok when i touch it. the pains starting to go down a tiny bit when i woke up this morning so its probably just what you said and you have to wait.

falling on your ass hurts like a bitch alone. i cant imagine like braking or chipping it.

that really sucks man.

I have a friend who broke his snowboarding, He's a really tough guy and I've never seen him in pain like that from a snow sport related injury. It was 3 years ago and it's still bothering him. It WILL heal but you're going to be hurting for a while, and definitely be careful that you dont land on it again.

Ask Dr. Hurricane Holson Phd. He knows all.

so its feeling better today and i decide to go biking a little. were messin around in a parking lot and im tryin to beat my freind in a manual contest and i go back too far and somehow my feet dont come off my pedals and bam. fall right on my tailbone. not fun. i pretty much went and laid in the wet grass for half an hour swaring and now it feels like hell again.
so yea im probably just not gonna do much until its 100% so this doesnt continue

Yeah dude, same thing happened to me a year ago. Smashed my tail bone, and for the next few months it was really sensitive. As long as you don't injure it anymore, it should heal like mine.

If its really hurting, go get it checked out. For serious -_-

yeah I cracked my tailbone once, it hurt a lot for about 2 weeks (in those 2 weeks I was doing sports and stuff, just not falling on it), and in like a month max it was completely fixed, so i dont know, if your broke it it may be longer.
