I had a very bad fall 3 years ago down a stone stairwell, i went to the hospital but they said it was pointless doing an exray because even if it's broken they can't do anything for my tailbone.

3 years on and i'm still in agony, i am a receptionist and if i take anymore time off due to the pain i will lose my job. My partner often gives me a back massage to try and ease the pain and says when he goes over the bottom of my back he can feel a piece of bone that moves when he touches it.

Is it true nothing can be done and i will have to live like this for the rest of my life? I'm only 30 years old and don't think i could handle it.
