What Is The Process And Healing Time For Coccyx Removal?
I would just like to find out, i broke my tailbone last year and the dr gave me cortisone injections, about four over a period of 8 months. After the last one didnt work he said we just have to wait for it to heal. Now about 7 months ago, the pain flarred up again to such an extent that i cant sit for more than 20 min. We lead quite an active life and go motorcross quite a lot, but now im unable to. Do you recommend that i remove my coccyx and what is the process and healing time?

Hello,
The coccyx injury recovery time for a fracture is around 8 weeks. In cases where the injury was a bit severe, the healing time is more. In most of the cases, though the healing time spans to 3 months, the actual rehabilitation of the bone structure is very long exceeding to an entire year.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
