Suggest Treatment For Severe Tailbone Pain

I fell down backwards and landed on my tailbone. Did not feel it cracks. Now 10 days later,and since my fall, I feel absolutely no pain when walking or bending down or sitting or touching the area with pressure: all that brings no pain. BUT, if I bend over and lift something slightly heavy I feel big pain right away. There is no discoloration of the skin. My question is : can I eliminate the possibility of a fracture. Could it be only internal bruising of ligaments?

Hi
Thanks for your query

I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. As you have no pain on sitting, standing and bending. You has pain only on lifting heavy weight lifting so you are unlikely to be having fracture. However for complete exclusion of fracture you need to done your x ray of sacral spine done. You can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief.

You can discuss with your doctor about it.

Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
