A coccyx is just a relic of a tail we don't need anyway. If it's cracked, take the opportunity to twist it off altogether and then you won't have the problem again.

How brilliant would it be to have a prehensile tail?My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

Out in the garden last night, glass of wine in one hand, cigar in the other looking up at the stars, stumbled backwards and fell onto the rockery. Arse landed on a chunk of sandstone. It felt like I had just been buggered by a gorilla.
Taken about 3 different types of pain killer today and nothing helps.
I have cracked it before and the pain lasts for months.Comment

But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Lot of it about it seems.
The cause of my lower back pain is apprently related to a fracture of the coccyx that must have happened several years ago - even though I was not aware of it at the time (fallen on my arse whilst walking and skiing too many times to notice).
Apparently the bones have knitted in such a way that it's putting pressure on a nerve so that it feels rather like 'toothache of the arse'.
My only resort is surgery (not guaranteed successful) and I will probably need to wait at least 10 months.
So. Take good care of your coccyxs boys and girls, otherwise painful misery awaits you.

I did mine while skiing over two years ago. I still experience mild pain. The agony does go away after a while. I took medical dose (800mg) ibuprofen three times a day, washed down with schnapps. Fortunately, I could still use the t-bar drag lifts, so I could continue skiing. Needed a cushion at work for about 3 months.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
