Spine Surgeon,  's  Response
Thanks for writing to us.
This is quite common condition. We need to rule out injury to sacrum. I would suggest to lateral xray of the lower spine. Try to take some rest and use dougnut pillow to offload the tender area. Use local gel application to tender area. Thanks.
