Can Coccyx Injury Cause Numbness And Pain In The Body?

I fell on my coccyx 2 weeks ago and after seeing to Doctors have been advised it is badly bruised. I have been taking strong pain medication but i am now experiencing pins and needles/numbness to the left side of my body. Would this be related? What treatments would you suggest to help?

Hello,

Your current symptoms are not related to coccyx injury. You need detailed neurological examination followed by MRI of brain and spine. In the interim, you can take pregabalin capsules for relief of symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Sudhir Kumar
