Immense pain, would not wish this on anyone, not joking. Slipped down some non-carpeted steps, fracture, can stand fine but cannot sit. Worst pain on the planet. Sleep ok, but cannot sit. FML.

Sorry brother, hope it gets better. That is a bad beat.
Bruised mine once slipping on some black ice like a cartoon character. Smacked elbow and tailbone on frozen street. A bad beat.

How many cocktails deep were you when this occurred?
Would have been a better story but no. Just got back from the Doc, nothing they can do. Refused pain meds, just going to tough it out. Going to be a miserable month. Just canceled our Thanksgiving trip. The thought of being in a car for four hours, vibrating, cannot do. Prayers are welcome, this fucking sucks.
good decision rejecting the pain meds just don’t take the easy way out using your immobility as an excuse to lay around getting hammered
you still owe an explanation for exactly what happened the coccyx just doesn’t suddenly break. you had to have fallen or tripped somehow
Slipped on a step with socks on, second from the bottom. Landed right on the tailbone, no time to brace. A fracture. Deep bruise from lower back to the upper thigh. Funny thing is I can stand fine, I just can't sit without immense pain getting up and down. Tried to drive a minute ago YEAH NO THANKS.
Yeah this is going to be a horrible month. They offered me Percocets, or whatever they are called. I said I have battled alcohol my whole life, not getting anywhere near that. Won't be drinking for at least a month, I simply cannot get up after seated without assistance to take a piss. I'm not even eating, afraid to take a shit. This is the worst. But refusing the pain meds no matter how tempting. Feel bad I made some fun of UGAISTHETEAM. Karma is a bitch, first hand.
I don’t mean to be a dick…… lol
Anyways, get some stool softeners, better to be loose than have to strain.
Sit on a heating pad.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

That sucks. I’ve known people to get shots directly into that coccyx area, like anesthetic type trigger point injections, but from what I just read, I don’t think it would do much. It appears those are more for degenerative type issues.
You probably wouldn’t want the percs for the reason split mentioned. It would have the opposite effect of a stool softener, which would make for a miserable experience. One of those cushions will probably help at some point, not just likely for a few weeks.
It sucks not to be able to sit, but thankfully you can lay down without discomfort and sleep. I’d just take it easy way and catch up on sleep and get through it.
Yeah, I got about 11 hours of sleep yesterday, which is a ton for me, I am usually 5 to 6 a night. I went to bed last night at 8pm and woke up at 3am, everything is just off. I actually got a cane delivered from Amazon yesterday. Balance purposes, terrified from falling again. I am not a complainer, but the pain is immense. I can see why people take pain medication. I am resisting and staying away, but when you get shooting barbs up your spine you just want it to go away. Fucking worst.
Did that like 20yrs ago. Fell out a damn shower back in 2003 and didnt think much of it. Yeah it hurt, but then when I had a car wreck in 2005 did xrays and they asked hey when did you break your tailbone (apparently it snapped off and was pointing inward at a weird angle and had healed in that position).
Still stinging pain, although getting better. Basically its like a toothache at this point, you just deal with it. I will admit, non stop pain just creates a depressive mindset. I was up at 3am this morning. Then a Wounded Warrior commercial comes on with a soldier with no legs and you basically tell yourself stop being a fucking pussy.
