[QUOTE="El Toro, post: 496273, member: 14779"] When I was in my early 20's I got what Army physicians joking referred to in those days as the "jeep disease." My tail bone was sore and my physician said it wouldn't get better until he could do some surgery. That seemed to be the concensus, so I scheduled it. The day before the scheduled surgery my wife got T-boned in her Karman Ghia by an LTD, and I cancelled the surgery to take care of her. I never got around to rescheduling. Instead I just took my tailbone for a long soak in a hot tub whenever I needed to. I guess this went on for a couple of years, and it finally returned to normal without ever undergoing the knife. As the other poster noted, circulation in that area's not great, and so healing is slow. I guess soaking in a hot tub improved circulation... or maybe it was like a cold, i.e., "if you don't take any cold medicine, the cold will last for a week and a half, but if you take your cold medicine, the cold only lasts for about 10 days."
