So today my friends and I were messing around and one of my friends grabbed my bag and tugged at it which sent me flying backward landing on the my bum on the hard floor. I have a bruise on my buttcrack. It really hurts when I walk or when I sit down or get up. From what I've learned so far the doctor is a waste of money. What should I do?

Its true the doctor is a waist of time. There's nothing that can be done for a bruised tailbone. I know from experience. You can take tylenol for the pain. I tried icing it and I tried a heating pad...both helped a little but it still gave me pain for about 3 months. Really sucked.
I've hurt my tailbone before too, but it went away in about a week. Depending on how hard you hit it will determine how long the pain will stay. I tried stretching by touching my toes (which made it hurt a lot) and I also tried applying pressure with my hands (which also hurt). I'm not sure if it worked or not, but my pain went away rather quickly.
