Answers:
Yes it is possible - and the pain from breaking it is agony. Maybe you badly bruised it...Rest for a day/two - if the pain hasnt reduced get to A&E for a check up/x-rayHealth Question & Answer

Yes you can break your tailbone, it's a bone. Chances are you bruised it, it will heal. I did this when I was 11, it hurt until I was 15. I would be in so much pain standing up in school I could hardly move.Health Question & Answer
