Coccyx bent forward and to the left

Sophie Mascia - phunkie_beats@yahoo.com

I have broken my tailbone after being in a car accident 2 weeks ago. It is bent forward and to the left. No severe pain it just hurts when I sit for long and then try to stand up.

I have read a lot of people's posts about surgery and injections and am frightened.

Is there anyone out there whose pain just went away once the bone healed?

Or will this broken tailbone, once healed . . be a problem in the future?
