Is It Normal To Have Small Hard Lump On My Coccyx Inspite Of An Tailbone Injury?
I slipped on the ice last week and landed on my tailbone. It is quite painful to run of if I sneeze, walk fast or bend in certain positions. A small hard lump has appeared on my coccyx. Is this normal. And will my injury heal by its self or will I require medical attention Kind regards Josie hartley

Sitz bath,sitting in hot water bath tub 15 minutes twice day, advil thrice a day and application of thrombophlebitis gel may help.
