It's very offputting that I was thinking about deadlifting 500 a few days ago, and now I'm stuck here with a bruised (not fractured) tailbone barely able to lift anything. I had to substitute hammer presses for incline bench because of how much my tailbone was bothering me sitting on the bench.
On that note, my ankle is healing super fast. I'm going to try deadlifting 1 plate tomorrow, and if anything bothers me I'll quit. But I really want to get back into it.
EDIT: Just got back from the doctor with the best news ever.
"Your ankle's fine, you were right, it's just sensitive and injury-prone from a past injury, so just have a brace on whenever you do anything strenuous. Your tailbone is partially fractured, but that doesn't really mean anything unless you fall on it again. So you can do whatever you want, it just might hurt a little whenever you put a big load on your pelvis. Just try not to fall on your butt again."

EDIT 2: I lied. Deadlifting is hard.
