Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I fell on the ice last night and hit my tailbone pretty hard on the corner of a wooden step. This morning I have a sizable bruise clearly marking where the edge of the step hit me and it s a bit swolen. I iced it last night. Any concerns? Doesn t hurt to sit down, only if I lean back.
I had gone through the case and found that it might be paining due to inflammation of tissue.
So take mild painkiller and apply muscle relaxant gel on particular area and notice for leg movement and anykind of tingling sensation. If any abnormalities find then immediate consult to orthopedic doctor.
Hope my answer will be effective for you.
Thanks
