Suggest Alternate Remedy For Pain In The Tailbone
I had an injection into my tailbone due to it being severly dislocated its been about a week and the pain is twice what it use to be. I just dont think i can go through the injections again due to the pain from the needle. The doctor had to insert in about 5 different time until he could find the right spot to put the meds in. What do i do now??

Hello,
Injury in tail bone is very painful. I think injection of steroid should be last option and it should not be repeated before one month. I have following suggestions.
1.Sitz bath- sit in tub daily for half to one hour fill with gentle warm water.
2.Avoid sitting on hard surface for long time.
3.Use a cushion with ring shape in office so pressure is not there on your tailbone.
I hope these steps will be helpful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
