Today, I fell and fractured my tailbone. I just healed from my last tailbone fracture 4 weeks ago. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I had my first hockey game after being out with a shoulder injury. I ended up cracking my tail bone. FML

Today, being my usual clumsy self, I slipped on the stairs and landed on my tailbone. Hard. Now, I can't even sit up. I have to drive to school and sit on a very hard plastic chair for four and a half hours tomorrow. FML

It sure does
Today, after I fell on ice twice hitting my tailbone last week. I'm in excruciating pain but can't get out of work, no internet for over a week so I can't do college work, a guy ran into my car, totaling it. it's 20 years-old so insurance probably won't give me enough to replace. Bad luck comes in threes. FML

Don't catch you slippin' now
Today, I somehow miscounted the steps on the staircase I've used multiple times a day for 20 years, then fell all the way to the bottom. Doctors say I fractured my coccyx, which is basically the ass bone at the bottom of my spine. I can neither sit or lie on my back for at least 6 weeks. FML

Today, the day after saying that I'd never broken a bone, I snapped my fibula in half. FML

Never joke about it
Today, I got back to work from a 4 month hospital stay and I joked with my boss that after so long away, I’m not planning on being sick again for years. Two hours later, a coworker knocked me down the stairs. A dislocated hip and a broken femur requiring 4-6 weeks of recovery. FML

Heavy load
Today, I was getting ready for work. When I stepped back, my ankle rolled and my fat ass landed on it with my foot sideways under me. Now I’m in a boot for 6 weeks and have 6 weeks of physical therapy ahead of me. FML

Today, I was walking to work, when I slipped and landed on my tail bone. Worse still, my hot coffee went flying into my face. I currently can't see out of my left eye. FML

Tell us the "tale" of how it happened.

You should always keep your coccyx wrapped in rubber!

maybe it's time for you to strap a pillow to your butt?

Maybe you should stop sitting down so hard?

I feel sympathy pain just reading this. Broke mine almost 10 years ago and still have occasional pain from it. Hopefully you didn't break yours in a waterfall like I did and then have to hike a mile and a half back down a mountain with wet clothes and a broken butt. Feel better soon, OP!

It takes more than 4 weeks to heal from a fracture. Bones take 3 months to get back to full strength after a fracture. What you did was reinjure an existing injury.

I broke mine when I was 10 and I'm 21 now and it pops and hurts everyday.

It's a pain in the ass but bones take 6 weeks to heal fully. So the second break was probably the same crack.

Bummer.

Ouch. I broke mine playing sand volleyball in high school. 22 years later and it still bothers me often. It didn't heal properly and is at a wrong angle. FYI for sure. Lots of soft foods and laying on your stomach for you! Oh, and the best tip I learned - walk down stairs backwards. CAREFULLY. It won't hurt like going forward.
