A tailbone injury, also known as a coccyx injury, can be incredibly painful.  Some of the warning signs include:

• Immense pain in the tailbone area
• Tenderness
• Pain worsens when sitting for prolonged periods
• Pain when direct pressure on the tailbone area
• Painful bowel movements
• Bruising

Falls are the leading cause of tailbone injuries.  The treatment for this injury ranges from at home care to surgery.

If you believe that your slip and fall accident was due to someone else’s negligence, you could be entitled to compensation and should talk with a lawyer.
