Could A Coccyx Injury Cause Internal Injuries?
I fell down the steps 2 weeks ago. The next morning I was hurting so bad I went to the family doctor. The x-rays showed a dislocated coccyx in the last 2 sections. They gave me medication for the pain and told me to rest. I rested for the first week, complete bedrest, then had to go back to work this past week. I have a desk job. Starting Monday, the more I stay upright, standing or sitting, the more I get nauseous. And I have had diarrhea every day. When I rested today my stomach starts feeling better. Could a coccyx injury cause internal injuries?
