Can I walk with a coccyx fracture?

Clinically, patients with coccyx fractures can walk, but when walking on the ground, it is recommended to wear a waist brace or other support to protect the coccyx locally to prevent walking activities from having an adverse effect on the fracture. When standing, the coccyx does not bear weight and the lumbar spine is under great pressure, but when sitting, the coccyx needs to bear pressure. If you often sit on a hard chair, the friction between the coccyx and the chair will cause inflammatory damage. You can put a cushion or a lifebuoy decompression pad on the chair to reduce the pressure on the coccyx. If you move too much and walk too much, the fracture site will be over-pulled and repeatedly worn, the local fracture will not heal well, and the patient will feel pain.
