Suggest Remedy For Pain And Swelling In The Tailbone Area
I fell off of a skateboard and landed harshly on my tailbone on cement. I am experiencing pain and swelling in the tailbone area as well as a tingling discomfort in my genitals. Is this the after effects from the fall that in time will go away or should I go to the doctor.
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to a the injury after the fall. Commonly it is treated with: -cold compress or ice pack application for 20 to 30 minutes for the 48 hours following injury to reduce swelling. -rest. anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
