What Is The Remedy For The Pain In My Sitting Bones After A Spinal Tap Which Gets Better With Yoga?

I had a spinal Tap 6 weeks ago. Since then I have had pain in the area of my sitting bones, in the front and back of my thighs, The Doctor who game me the tap did it twice before he got someone else, When he injected my spine (2 times) it caused pain in each leg down to my ankles. The 3rd injection was done by someone else. I felt nothing.How can I heal this? IBP helps .My morning walk sometimes helps. Yoga does also . I am normally a very healthy 73 year old.

1. your history suggests tail bone pain after lumbar puncture which means that when a procedure has been carried out in the pelvic region, it may be that pressure has been placed on the coccyx [The tailbone area is a particularly sensitive area] or the trauma has changed the muscular tension in the muscles in that area, try to avoid sitting as much as possible. When you do sit, try to avoid putting pressure on the sore area, get some icing on the pain and to keep the inflammation down.

2. Doing yoga unsystematically can aggravate the problem rather than showing its positive health benefits. So, it is recommended that you should practice it under the guidance of experienced yoga instructor or therapist, since practicing yoga in conditions of spine problems, may intensify or aggravate these conditions.

3.
i. Relax the spine completely.
ii. Do not lie face down.
iii. Lie on your back with pillow under the knee.
iv. Lie on the side with a pillow between the knees.
v. Distract your mind from the pain, watch television, read light humorous stories, listen to soothing music.
vi. Take 4 spoons of Tulasi juice
4 spoons of ginger juice
4 spoons of honey and take for 1 month.
. Boil 100 gm black pepper powder in 300 ml til tail--- filter, cool and massage OR mix dried ginger in castor oil and massage.

PS. Too much straining during defecation can cause sprain in the muscles of the back, make sure you are not suffering from constipation.
