Return to Sports After a Tailbone Injury. A bruised tailbone may take several days to weeks to completely heal. A fractured tailbone can take 4 to 6 weeks. In general, you should be able to return to activities slowly as you heal. A full return to sports may depend upon the sport you play, but you need to be able to sit, bend, walk without pain.
Tailbone pain, also called coccydynia or coccygodynia, usually goes away on its own within a few weeks or months. To lessen tailbone pain in the meantime, it might help to: 1  Lean forward while sitting down. 2  Sit on a doughnut-shaped pillow or wedge (V-shaped) cushion.  Apply heat or ice to the affected area.
