Please help.
I bruised my coccyx whilst snowboarding about 3 weeks and I feel that the pain is getting worse. When I sit for too long is when it is at its worse. Other than taking pain killers is there anything else I can do and does anyone know how long it takes to recover?? :confused:
Hi
That sounds very uncomfortable. Ice can help to reduce inflammation, and you could try taking arnica supplements or using a gel to ease the bruising.
I have no idea how long the recovery time is, I guess its dependent on your own body. I imagine the muscles around the area will be in spasm, so doing certain stretches in that area should also help the general area.
Sorry I cant be more specific!!

When I bruised (?broke) mine, I had no complimentary support and it was 18 months before I could sit comfortably!!! ice packs and arnica should make a big difference ...
All the best

About 3 weeks ago? and the pain is getting worse. You should see your GP ASAP.
