Suggest Treatment For Painful Black Bruised Tailbone
I fail and bruised my left tail cheek a week ago. Today it has become black and blue with red blood vessels. I can sit okay now but hard to put on left sock and shoe. My back has started to hurt now. I did all the ice in the begining and heat later. I also took Rx. Do I need to have my doctor check me?

Yes,an x-ray should be done just in case tail bone is deformed or twisted which may require correction manually under anesthesia.if just cracked, then nothing more than taking advil tab thrice a day, sitting in hot water tub 20 mins, using rubber ring or foam for sitting on..
