Hi welcome to Healthcaremagic

Hi.., the above history suggestive of the injury to the coccyx, coccyx will be soft bone,
hence it will take to heal, 2 to 3 weeks,, it in case you have severe pain even at rest,
better get a X ray of pelvis to rule out any fracture..
Hope I have answered your question..

Takecare...
