The length of time it takes for a coccyx to heal can vary depending on the severity of the injury. In most cases, a mild coccyx injury may take a few weeks to heal, while a more severe injury may take several months. During the healing process, patients are typically advised to avoid activities that put pressure on the tailbone, such as sitting for prolonged periods, or participating in activities that require sitting, such as cycling or rowing. Treatment for a coccyx injury may include medications to relieve pain and inflammation, physical therapy, and the use of special cushions or padding to reduce pressure on the tailbone. In some cases, a coccygeal nerve block may be recommended to provide immediate pain relief.
