Is it possible to hurt your coccyx without actually banging it? I slipped earlier but managed to save myself from falling, however its really painful in the coccyx area, particularly when sitting. Thanks for your help

when i was drunk about 18 months ago my 20 stone friend fell on me and pulled me down onto my cocyx damaging my ankle too. the pain lasts about 6-8 weeks but it will ease. even now i can't sit on certain sofas properly because my coccyx gets painful after half hour.
try sitting on a stool or hard chair. its much friendlier than a sofa because you tend to sink into a sofa and end up sitting directly on your coccyx whereas with a stool you actually sit on your bum!! works for me anyway!!

Aww thanks beverleymot, sorry to hear of your accident and longlasting pain. I actually felt the pain when I was driving shortly after slipping and you're right the pain has intensified while I have been sat here on the sofa on the laptop. I'll take your advice and find somewhere firm to sit.
