Suggest Treatment For Lower Back Pain And Contusion In Coccyx After Injury
I had a serious fall while walking with mail in arms (post office) a dog running high speed knocked me onto my buttocks. I hit the concrete hard enough to almost pass out. I injured lower back and had a contusion to my coccyx. I went to work after a month had to sit on the pillow for 2 years, I had swelling for about two and a half years When I carry anything heavy I feel a heaviness, and work is really rough I get the wet sensation. I recently was diagnosed with a prolapse of my uterus There talking about ligaments of the tailbone being week. Could this have been attributed to my fall and damage
Still for further assessment you may require MRI back after orthopedic surgeon consultation. Further treatment mainly depends upon the underlying condition. Take proper rest. Continue physical therapy.
