How long will it take to heal a broken tailbone, before I can do sit ups?

Question

I slipped in a puddle of water and fell down four steps hitting my spine , chipping and cracking my tailbone. It's been 3mos. since I
fell it is still tender where I tore some ligaments.

Answer 1

The coccyx or tail bone should heal like any other bone taking anywhere from a minimum of six weeks to three months. The bone tissue is likely healed by now but the surrounding soft tissues may not. Maybe some warm wet compresses such as a wet washcloth applied locally will provide anti-inflammatory relief. Perform the sit-ups to tolerance.

Answer 2

I hate to tell you this,,,,but i fell down a flight of stairs once about 15 years ago and hurt my tailbone pretty badly. Didnt ever get checked out to see if it was broken or just chipped. But till this day i cant sit too long because i have alot of pain there.
hope thats not the case for you.
