If you have the signs and symptoms of a coccyx injury or unexplained discomfort in the coccyx area, contact your doctor. It may be necessary for the doctor to decide if the injury is traumatic or if the pain is caused by other, more serious, coccyx problems.

Injuries to the region of the coccyx rarely require a visit to the emergency department. However, if you are unable to reach your physician, have no physician, or are otherwise concerned about your symptoms, it is wise to visit your nearest hospital's emergency department.
