What Is The Remedy For The Pain In The Tail Bone Which Started After Falling Down?
I fell on an icy wood board walk and fell hard on my bum. Now I can't do anything without serious pain and when I get down on my knees ir get up I get a shooting pain in my tail bone that feels like I'm getting shot. I'm only 14 so I'm quite concerned on what has happened. My family has had a history of hip displacements, my mothers thigh bone slipped out of the socket then fractured and my cousins just slipped. I am concerned for my health so please help.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I understand your concern, this is injury and not the disease and this does not be hereditary, I would advise you to get done the x-ray of your tell bone to rule out the serious injury, looking to your age this will come around soon you can take the pain killing medicine and the best drug is "Ibuprofen 400 mg with Acetaminophen, you will get alright soon have nice day.
