I might have broken, cracked but definetly bruised my tailbone-what can i do?!


Question: Please give me remedies that will be allowed in school
Answers:
An injured tailbone needs time to heal. A bruised tailbone may take several days to several weeks to completely heal. While your tailbone injury is healing it is very important to use a doughnut cushion when you are sitting. A doughnut cushion may be purchased at a medical supply house or you may use a child's swimming inner tube. You should place an ice pack on your tailbone for 20 to 30 minutes every 3 to 4 hours for 2 to 3 days or until the pain goes away. Your health care provider may prescribe an anti-inflammatory or pain medicines. It is important to avoid constipation while your tailbone is healing. Drink plenty of fluids and increase the amount of fiber in your diet.
