How To Reduce Pain In Buttock And Tailbone After Fall?

Fell on my butt Friday roller skating. I fell so hard that my brain rattled. I have no bruising, but the pain is very severe. My tailbone, both hips, it feels like I have a bladder infection. Bilateral the location where your appendix are both right and left side hurt. I am nauseous.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your treating physician, I would prescribe some anti inflammatory drug along with a proton pump inhibitor for a few days. Apart from this, I would refer you to a physiotherapy department where they might give you some heating either with an infra red device, or short-wave diathermy device, which are soothing and help in healing of the wound in muscle and bone.

The second part of your history is a little perplexing on the pain in both sides of your lower abdomen and the nauseous feeling. This might call for an ultrasound abdomen to rule out any secondary abdominal pathology. A careful clinical examination of the abdomen is also a vital part of the management in your case.

Therefore, in case of increase in the intensity of pain and discomfort, I would not hesitate to refer you to a general surgeon for an examination and further management.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
