So last monday(1/9) I fell during my ice skating class. I fell really hard right on my tailbone. Everyday during ice skating or when I'm walking/sitting/running/ moving in odd ways, my tailbone hurts really bad. The pain hasn't gotten any better.. How can I tell if its broken?

 

XRay.

 

ice... skating...




:a:




too many jokes...

 

Yes thank you, I could care less. You're from Canada, I'm suprised that you don't ice skate. Its fun. We played hockey today! Keep it on topic. If you want to make fun of me then make a new thread.

 

Did you do twirlies in the air and frolic on the ice?

 

It's actually quite easy to break your tail-bone, a lot of people break it and not know.

 

Hmm. I did not know that. My friend was flirting with a girl and somehow ended up breaking her tailbone. So the only real way to tell is x-ray? How does it heal?
:hahano: No.. Although one day this hockey player did an axel on the ice and a double off. Freaked the instructer out.

 

They put a cast on it.

 

This thread made me think of this:

 

u have to get a rubber donut or inflatable donut to sit on. looks like a pool toy. this gets the psi off the area. that is about all that is done to treat it.
