A tailbone fracture (“a broken coccyx”) takes longer to heal than fractures at most other body regions.
There are multiple reasons for this:
- Unlike fractures at many other body regions, there is no cast, splint, or brace that can be put on a fractured tailbone.
- Alike fractures at many other body regions, there is no way to avoid putting your body weight on the fracture (unless you totally avoid sitting for several weeks).
- So, a tailbone fracture never really gets a chance to rest and recover the way that fractures at most other body regions do.
- So, it is not surprising that much longer than fractures that most other body regions.
- It’s also not surprising that tailbone fractures are more likely to go on to develop chronic, ongoing pain.
