Seems like it won't heal

[JSK21]

I went on vacation with my family, and my mother my brother, and me slept on a bed because the pull out couch-beds were too uncomfortable. None of us are heavy. I wake up and I have this awful pain in my tailbone area. I think that was June 28th, 2011. I have been using a heating pad for the past 2 weeks, and it feels like it has been getting better. However, when I try to skateboard I feel like I hurt it and it's pretty bad pain. I just want to skateboard again. Any help?

I do not have any numbness or shooting. My tailbone has been getting better. Thanks for the help!

I get this alot.  You need to rest your tailbone area.  Ibuprofen should help.  The more you try to skateboard and do other activities that make it hurt, the longer it will take you to feel better.  Since it has been two weeks you may want to get an appointment with a doctor.  Laying in one position all night or if you were right up next to someone on the bed, you may have been kicked or bumped enough to make your rump sore.  As long as you continue to improve that is good.  But if you stall out after 3 weeks and arent doing better you should get it looked at.  

Also, do you have any numbness or shooting pain into your legs?  If you do you should definately go to the doctor sooner rather than waiting.
