Mrs. Moreno, your report should be ready a few days after the scan. Call the radiology center and request the written report if you haven't. You can request a CD to add to your health file. It's handy for second opinions.
I always want to see the report and have opinion before seeing the doctor. It's the best time to ask the questions about jargon and remedy.
You can upload your images and let the enthusiastic non-professionals have a go at them here on Connect.
But let me bore you with my tailbone while we have @heisenberg34's attention.
When I was six and trying to fly off the roof with bedsheets, I disturbed my tailbone with a hard landing. Now it sometimes takes a painful horizontal position. Chiropractors can adjust the position immediately relieving the pain.
Do you have any flying confession to make, or have you had a hard landing from any less embarrassing activities. I'd be happy to guess at your images.
I agree with heisenberg on everything? except chiropractics. but I want (you) to hear his take, since you've heard mine. I like his idea of sitting down (except you probably can't sit comfortably) with specialists but how long will you (can you) wait to get rid of that pain.
If you call radiology they can have a disc and report ready for you to pick within hours.
Did you have MRI or X-Ray. If it's an x-ray you may need an MRI to rule out fracture.

Thanks, @gently . I hit my tailbone (I think) when I fell skiing 8 years ago. Definitely hit it seven months later when I slipped on a set of steps and fell hard on my tailbone. No one has ever mentioned it through x-rays, MRIs, tests, injections, nerve ablations, etc. have never addressed the feeling of "a lump in each butt cheek". It's like they just ignore it and go right to the lower back. It frustrates me to no end.
I had my MRI on Wednesday. Interpretation will likely be ready on Monday. If there is nothing evident, I will be reduced to taking a chair, taking it out to the woods, and just sit there, and sit, and sit. lol.
