Suggest Treatment For Numbness In Lower Spine Caused After An Injury

I was doing stair exercise when I made a wrong step, went out of balance and fell on my bone at the lower end of my spine (sacro-coccygeal area). I went to the hospital and the doctor said that it s suspicious of having a fracture. He made me take pain relievers and right now, it s getting numb. What should I do?
