Suggest Treatment For Pain In Tailbone
Hi, I recently went to a swimming hole and jumped off a cliff into the water from approximately 15-20m high. When I hit the water a sharp pain hit my tailbone and it has been in pain since. I have also noticed a dimple just above my tailbone. Is this related and what should I do?

hello, your pain is related to the injury u had, kindly apply ice locally, take nsaids if pain is very bad, while sitting use an inflated tube to avoid pressure on the painful area. if pain persists, take an xray and visit an orthopaedic doctor
