Suggest Treatment For Tailbone Injury
Hi last evening I was walking down my steps and missed the last two steps. I lost my balance and fell on my bottom hitting my tailbone, I believe. I am fine when I walk it just hurts when I am sitting up straight and trying to get off the couch, otherwise I am ok. Would you recommend anything. I am a stay at home mom with a 1 year old also email is YYYY@YYYY

Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern if this is tail bone injury then x- ray need to be done to rule out the possibility of fracture the pain due to the injury to the tail bone may last long any non steroid anti-inflammatory drug would give good response, while sitting take care there is special cushion available for tail bone injury better to use this for sitting, hope this information helps you, have nice day.
