do tailbone injuries take longer to heal than regular bruises? I hurt it a few years ago playing hockey and it was bad for a while, but this time I can't really remember getting it. I probably just fell on my ass when I was skating. Anyway, it's been sore for about a month, and it hurts a little bit every time I stand up or sit down. Should I just give it more time, or should I have the doctor check out my big ol' booty?
