sharp pain in tailbone? why?

[Carly Buckingham]

I get a very sharp pain in my tailbone after ive been sitting for about 10 minutes and when i get up it gets worse then goes away, should i be concerned?

You might have bruised your tailbone have you fallen down the stairs and landed on it? ive done that before and it hurts to sit down i would wait a day or two if the pain doesn't go away then talk to your doctor
