How Long Will Steroid Shot Take To Heal Tailbone Injury?

I injured my tailbone 7 months ago and still have a hard time sitting and the pain is constant. Not always debilitating but always there like a bad headache. I have had pt for months with ultrasound and a steroid shot but still in pain. Is time the only thing to heal this?
