Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Recently I have had my whole tail bone/ lower vetebrae region all sore, (feels like it is bruised). At first I thought it was just that, I fell and forgot about it or something. But no it has stayed here a while now and sometimes hurts when I go to sit down. Weird thing is it is not in the cheek region at all. What is this why is it bruised am I doing something wrong.

Not nothing to do with juice. You injuried the lowest part of your spind actually called the coxa it a small point of the bone at the very end of the spine as called the tail bone. It will heal with time, but you need an x-ray just to be sure it's not something worse than just that.

i fell on mine hard last year snow boarding doing about 25mph.....i sat there for 5 minutes as everyone waited for me downhill.i couldnt move for 5 whole very painfull minutes....as finally the pain went away some, i finished the day in limp mode. but the after math lasted a whole month it finally subsides some in week 2 after the fall.i was going to go to the doc but i waited it out as to not let some dude look at my ass.
id say this area on the exact tail/bottom takes a long time to heal...good luck,it takes a while but if YOU think its time to see the doc than go!!!

how long has it been? like i said mine hurt severely when i fell and it takes a long time to heal but if you didnt injure it bad from a fall and its a unknow cause get to your doc you should know when enough is enough
Overnight it has gotten worse (and yesterday) It now hurts when I walk/sit down. I may remember a time now when I fell On my tail bone but I don't remember it hurting that bad. I am a little worried about it being an abcess.... But I don't think that is possible unless I injected ridicoulsly far up on my butt.

could of hit a nerve maybe how long has it been?
Maybee a week is it a possibilty that I made it worse over night cause right now it is pretty bad, I can barely sit down, or walk , well I can just hurts really bad. I have felt it and it is in the tailbone region and to the left of it. It isnt red or anything. So it can't be an abcess can it? I mean If I was even close to injecting in that area it still would have been a good 3 inches away from the swelling

Got knocked on my ass by a punch about 6 years ago, bruised the hell out of my tailbone (not to mention my ego). Still to this day I notice it if I'm sitting on an airplane for more than a couple of hours, it feels like it is broken until I get up and walk around. Other than that it is a non-issue.

Tommboy. There are only 3 things this could be. A bruised tail-bone (coccyx), an abcess, or what's called a pilonidal cyst. From your post, I bet you have a bruised coccyx (or at worst, a fracture). Usually no need to have the thing x-rayed bc the treatment is the same for both. Avoid sitting for long periods of time; ibuprofen 600-800mg 3-4 times a day; and high fiber and/or metamucil or other stool softner to avoid constipation. (If you think it hurts now, wait until you have to strain!) Rarely do these things have complications requiring a hospital visit. The bad news is prolonged healing-it takes weeks. Sometimes a little foam donut to sit on will make life easier. If it's not getting better in 2-3 weeks or if at any time you feel a lump that's warm, red and painful you need to get it checked out. Otherwise you should be fine. Good luck!
