Has anyone here ever broken/fractured their tailbone?

OK, let's get past the gay jokes... I jumped off a boat at a pretty high rate of speed today, and when I started swimming back I noticed a pretty good bit of sharp pain in my posterior sacral region. It hasn't gotten better, yet it only really hurts (more sharp pain) when I sit or lay in certain positions. There is no nagging or aching pain at all.
Yeah, alcohol was involved. Yada, yada, yada...
I'm not going to a fricking doctor or an emergency room, but thanks for any help, SECRanters!

When I was younger I broke my tailbone at a waterpark, it hurt like hell and constantly.
Did you, by chance, fall backwards when you jumped?
ETA: go in head, or butt first?

My wife broke her tailbone skiing, 15 or so years ago.
It has never healed and it bothers her to this day.
I probably don't help her condition.
Yours should be fine in a week or two.

I only ask because it sounds like a hi-speed enema, and I wish I were joking. Back in the day I water skied often, and I received a couple of those over the course of a few years. 
I had the same kind of pain. It's actually fairly common to water skiers.

The broken tailbone? About 2-3 weeks.
The unwelcomed enema? About 2-3 days.

Go get a donut and sit on it for a few. Take 15 aspirin and call me in the morning if your conscious. Seriously though, anything tailbone related is treated by sitting on a donut.

Truth, just need to take the pressure off and let it heal. Either way, back to new in a couple of weeks.
But don't take 15 aspirin.

Had a deep bruise on my tailbone. Happened at practice. Got undercut going up for a floater.
Hurt for a long time.
That's all I got.
