What Is The Treatment For A Fracture And Pain In The Tail Bone?
my wife has had a fractured or broken tail bone since 1984. It was much better for a long time and only bothered her when riding in a car. She accidentally fell a few weeks ago and now experiencing severe pain and difficulty resting at night. What would you suggest as the remedy for this problem?

Hello,
I have studied your case. I think your wife is having condition which is known as coccydynia. In this condition there is pain in the til bone. I have following suggestions for her.
1.Hot water fomentation by sitting in bath tub.
2.Avoid sitting on hard surface.
3.Sit on ring shape cushion.
4.When you are sleeping try to sleep on one side rather than back.
I hope these steps will be helpful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
