Go to the GP today if really concerned, but a week isn't long. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/tailbone-pain-coccydynia/Thanks. It's concerning me that week on, it's still no better. Never had this before and certainly don't want it to become any sort of permanent issue.
It's likely just badly bruised...bad bruises take time to heal. Has ice been helpful? If not tried, do so, 15 mins, sit on a bag of peas wrapped in a teatowelI get that - but it's one I've never had before, hours on a hard seat would have never bothered me before until this bike thing!
Discuss using the gel with the pharmacist, specifically about mixing with the heavy dose of ibuprofenThanks - not tried it yet. Will also pick up some voltaren gel today.

Whilst all advice on here is well meaning, unless the advise comes from a GP or pharmacist I would phone 111 and seek their advise, they will ask you many questions and tell you the best course of action, self medicatoin based on advise given on this forum in my mind is dangerous, as what is good for one person might be bad for another.
As linked above, this is the advice from the NHS, as would likely thus be given by 111.Whilst all advice on here is well meaning, unless the advise comes from a GP or pharmacist I would phone 111 and seek their advise, they will ask you many questions and tell you the best course of action, self medicatoin based on advise given on this forum in my mind is dangerous, as what is good for one person might be bad for another.

Maybe time to see the drTwo weeks on today, taking iburprofen daily, and still no improvements. But other than this one thing, everything else is fine. I am a teacher so do spend a lot of time standing up which is good, but whenever I sit, it's quite uncomfortable - and can't really carry around a ring or towels to cushion when going around school to different classes etc. :/
