What Is The Painless Lump On The Tailbone?`
I had fallen off my horse two weeks ago, ended up having x-rays swelling was extreme around my tailbone and the bruising it caused was massive, again two weeks ago, bruising is gone, just about but I have a lump which doesnt hurt if pushed on but is located around my tailbone probably the size of a half a grapefruit, is this water and will it go away given time... or do I have to have it drained possibly... My ex-rays showed no chips, or breakage...

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
This lump is probably a hematoma. Due to injury some blood has accumulated under the skin in the soft tissues. Such blood collection if large can not get absorbed or disappear by itself. That is why you should consult a surgeon and have it drained. In case of doubts, ultrasound should be done.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
