When Will I Get Relief From Pain In Tailbone And Pain While Bending And Sitting Which Started When I Slipped From The Staircase?

Hi About a week ago, I slipped on a indoor newly finished wood staircaseI was wearing knitted slippers. I slid on my bum 13 steps. I have been in pain. It is my tailbone and it hurts when I try to sit leaning back. It is Ok when I am sitting up straight. It also hurts when I bend down. How long will it take to get better? What should I do to get better? I tried a touche-couche today at a store, it did not really help when I tried to lean back and sit. Thanks for your help.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
You fell on the bum, and slipped 13 steps, so if the pain is present only on the tail bone, there cuould be other problems like injury to the spine.
So i advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have an M.R.I. for diagnosis.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato,egg, chicken, and sea foods till you get the relief of pain.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
