Has anyone ever had a tailbone (coccyx) injury & still been able to dive? I injured my tailbone last weekend from a fall (slight fracture at the top of the bone) & am scheduled to begin my OW class on Memorial Day weekend. My general practitioner seems to think it may be OK to do class since the pain is managed (via Ibuprofen) & scuba is a low-impact activity. There's really no other treatment but time for this type of injury which usually is 6-8 weeks. I've been waiting since March for my class & the next one isn't until July 9th so I'm naturally crushed/pissed if I can't do it in May. (Not to mention losing half the summer for diving.)
Thanks for any experience you can share with this (or similar type) of injury.
