Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Slowly increase your activities such as walking and sitting.
Avoid sitting for long periods of time.
Do not sit on a hard surface.
Use gel or rubber cushion when sitting. The hole in the center will take pressure off your tailbone.
When sitting, alternate between each side or your buttocks.
Take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as aspirin or ibuprofen to reduce pain and improve your ability to move around.
Eat foods high in fiber to soften stools and avoid constipation.
For future query, you can directly approach me through my profile http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-saurabh-gupta/64132
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
