How long does it take to recover from a fall to the tailbone

How long it takes to recover after a fall on the coccyx depends on the severity of the injury, generally 2-3 weeks to recover from a minor injury, 3 weeks to recover from a dislocation of the coccyx, 6 weeks to recover from a minor fracture, and a relatively long recovery time for a comminuted fracture, up to 8 weeks to 2 months. I. Minor injury: for example, it is only an injury to the ligaments and fascia around the caudal vertebrae, and it takes 2-3 weeks for the ligaments, fascia, joint capsule and other tissues to heal sufficiently to return to normal. Second, the dislocation of the caudal vertebrae: if there is a dislocation, it is generally necessary to reset, mainly through the anal finger diagnosis reset method, after the anal finger diagnosis reset, the joint capsule, ligaments and other healing time takes about 3 weeks, after 3 weeks can basically return to normal. Fracture: The recovery time of fracture after a fall depends on the type of fracture: 1. minor fracture: the displacement is not very obvious, the fracture healing speed will be faster, bed rest for about 6 weeks can be completely healed; 2. comminuted fracture: there is obvious displacement or separation displacement, the healing speed will be slower, may need to be reset by manipulation. The fracture will take about 8 weeks of bed rest and 8 weeks to 2 months to heal completely after repositioning. The rate of fracture healing is also related to the age of the patient. Younger patients, such as children and adolescents, will heal faster and may heal completely in about 6 weeks. In the elderly, the fracture healing rate is relatively slow, and it may take up to 2 or even 3 months to fully recover. Therefore, how long it takes to recover after a fall on the tailbone depends on the severity of the injury, and there is no fixed time.
