Reason For Lower Back Being Very Sore Along With Pain?
I fell off a ladder and believe I injured my tailbone. My lower back is very sore. Trouble walking, painful sitting. I've noticed when I sit for more than 10 minutes both of my legs and feet fall asleep
Do you believe I might have nerve damage or is this a symptom of the injured tailbone

Hi,
these are symptoms that require a proper neurological review. A Ct scan and an MRI of the spine would be most suited to avoid any future serious complication. In case these symptoms persist with well controlled pain, seeing a neurosurgeon or a orthopedic surgeon for a proper review and testing would be most welcome. Kind regards
