How can fractured tailbone be identified ?
Patient: Hello, I went to sit on the edge of my son s bathtub and didn t sit back far enough. I landed hard on my tailbone on the edge of the tub and heard a crack. I then started to feel hot, nauseous and lightheaded like I was going to pass out. Could I have fractured my tailbone? Doctor: Hi,  I'm afraid, yes, you might have fractured your tailbone. I highly recommend to consult with orthopedic specialist as soon as possible. You should run X-ray of tailbone to confirm this.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
