NO ONE should try to whack a bone 'back into place'

I had an injury to my coccyx as a child and had to sit on a cushion for years …….. can you imagine the feeling, walking into Big School carrying a huge cushion everywhere

. Moving up to Big School was bad enough

The coccyx should be a tail (something I would love to own, like a Snow Leopard

) and can be manipulated under GA but it has been found that this is rarely successful. Over the counter pain relief, warm massage and sitting on a soft surface at all times will give relief.
Have you had an X-ray of the affected area?
