Bruised coccyx (tailbone)
While ice skating a week ago, i fell very very hard on my backside. I couldn't get up by myself, and when i got picked up it hurt so much i couldn't carry on skating, had to go sit down for a while. I didn't put an ice-pack on it there and then as there was too long a queue at the first aid.
Anyway, i thought the pain would go away, but a week later my tailbone is still hurting loads, when i sit down, when i walk, dance etc, when i bend over. Anyone think I could've done some serious damage? Should I see a doctor or wait longer for it to go away?

I would see a doctor just to make sure you didn't do more than bruise it. It is possible to break your tailbone. Until you can see a doctor, ask your parents about a pain reliever to help with the pain.

I've hurt my tailbone before by skating too and it hurts bad, but goes away about a week or so later. If it's still hurting in a few days, then definetly make an appointment to see your doctor.

I've had that happen to me plenty of times. It's important that you try not to do things that you know will irritate your tailbone, such as dancing and hurt it even more. I'm a dancer myself so I know how hard that is but you should really refrain from dancing.
Gently rub it to try and get some flow in that area. Usually the rule is if it hurts for more than a couple weeks, you should see your doctor.

Well, I love figure skating I take lessons. And trust me I've fallen plenty of times to know that yes it does hurt after a while but then again I already have back problems to begin with because of my ***** but yeah. I think you should go see a doctor but I'm just letting you know it does hurt for a while sometimes. Depends the way you fell like where *exactly* you fell. Hope I helped.
