What Causes Pain In Tailbone?
I fell and hit my tailbone tonight, passed out and vomiting. The last time i had a broken bone i did the same thing, but the nurse in me says to just wait and see how i feel tomorrow, but at the same time im thinking i may have cracked and should go to the ER? Opinion?

Hello,
As you had a fall and this may have done a direct impact to the bone. Usually taking an x-ray is always good on a safer side. Post which if it's fracture we need to allow it to heal with rest. At least the x-ray will help us know what shall we do next and do things on a safer side.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
