How To Get Rid Of Pain After Falling Off On My Tail Bone?

I fell hard while roller-skating @ roller rink w/grandson today. It knocked the wind out of me. My tailbone took all my weight. I also strained my back. I've taken ADVIL, but I'm in a lot of pain. It was 3 hours ago and I'm unsure what to do. I feel like crying.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

Due to fall on hard surface sacrum may be injured. Due to microtauma there may be fibrosis formation.

Do hot fomentation over sacrum. It will take weeks to months to subside.

Use ring cushion and take sitz bath [sitting in lukewarm water for 10 min]
Take analgesic like nucoxia 90 once daily along with tab methylcobalamine 1500 mcg once daily consulting your doctor.
If not relieved with all these methods then local injection may be required. You can take this consulting your doctor.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
