Healing time
It is always difficult to make general statements about the duration of healing, as it depends on a multitude of factors. For example, the physical protection of the affected bone – in this case the coccyx – is the decisive factor for the duration of the healing process. If the patient succeeds in maintaining this protection, a rough guideline value of 4 to 6 weeks healing time can be assumed.
Anti-inflammatory drugs can even reduce this period to less than 4 weeks. However, if the physical rest is not observed, the inflammation can last up to three, if not six months.
