Suggest Treatment For Soreness And Bruising Around Coccyx And Spotting

I fell hard on some stairs last week and bruised my tailbone. I m still very uncomfortable and sore. I took my kids school shopping today to only two stores and then had to leave as the pressure was so intense. Is that normal after a weeks time? Also I am probably due for my period within the week but I am spotting bright red blood and when I just went to the bathroom there was some in the toilet. It was not the same looking blood I would get from my period. Should I be concerned?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Your symptoms seem to be related to the fall.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest using cold compresses for local application.
If the symptoms continue, I suggest to do an abdominal ultrasound and a coccyx xray for further evaluation.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
