When to Seek Medical Care

If a patient has the signs and symptoms of a coccyx injury or unexplained discomfort in the coccyx area, contact the doctor. It may be necessary for the doctor to decide if the injury is traumatic or if the pain is caused by other, more serious problems.

Injuries to the region of the coccyx rarely require a visit to the emergency department. However, if the patient is unable to reach his or her physician,have no physician, or are otherwise concerned about his or her symptoms, it is wise to visit your nearest hospital's emergency department.
