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.
I fractured my tailbone while delivering my last child and it was two years before I could sit through long driving trips without feeling the pain. So it does take a long time for it to completely heal. The donut doesn't work for me but I can sit on an exercise ball so if one doesn't work, try the other. Ibuprofen works great but I only take it when I go to bed so I can get some sleep.
