I fell while cross-country skiing directly on my bum. I immediately thought I broke my tail-bone. I know there isn t much a doctor can do. This happened one week ago. Now when I sit in a slouching position (cause that is least painful) it now feels like there is a lump in there off a little to one side. Not sure if I should see Dr. about it.
