Suggest Treatment For Pain In Buttocks After A Fall
Last night, I fell down my stairs and landed hard on my buttocks. I bounced down a few steps and my butt now hurts really bad when I sit. How do I know if I broke my tailbone or if it s just bruised? I don t see any physical bruises when I try to look at it in a mirror.

Hello
Welcome to Health Care magic
As per symptom you have mentioned are not showing any fracture in your tail bone.
In case of fracture intense pain with swelling and restricted moment is noticed. Pain may radiate to your back and aggravate on sitting or lying
You may have little pain with some sign of bruise.
So you can apply some pain gel it will be alright
Hope this is clear to you '
Thanks
