I broke my rump(tail) bone, anyway to heal faster?


Question:
I am a girl in mid 20's, 4 days ago when I walked down the stairs I slipped, the accident caused my rump bone broken according to the x ray I took 2 days ago. My doctor just recommend me to stay home get more rest, do not exercise and so on, and told me it will take me a month to heal.
but who can stay at home for that long? Anyone can tell me how to get it healed faster? and can I still have sex during this healing period? Can I travel by plane? like a 3 hrs flight? God I am hurting 24/7 now, sometimes better sometimes worse, but I hate to take pain killer pills. Please help! Thank you!

Answers:
It's really important to stay off your seat as much as possible and when you are sitting to lean forward and get your weight off your tailbone.

I know someone whose doctor insisted that she not sit at all for months. She cooked Thanksgiving dinner that year and never sat down at a table to eat it. She knelt in front of a chair in the livingroom and ate that way.

As for your other questions, I give you a lot of credit for even thinking you'll want sex while you're in pain. Ask the doctor or the doctor's office nurse for advice about the flight and the sex. The pain killers just might make it possible to do these things.
