Broken coccyx?
Question:
Answers:
well i really don't think that there is anything else that could be wrong without some xray films. It may need to be xrayed to make sure it was broken and that this is not some sort of infection or what is very common is called a pilonidal cyst. Go to the doc and get it looked at.
3 months later even if it was broken it should be healed by now you better get checked out mabey its something else going on down there ...
i would suggest strong anti-inflammatory drugs every time you move ,it is moving too
Sorry Sarah R, but nothing in your question makes a medical diagnosis possible. Go see your doctor.
Unfortunately there's nothing that can be done for you. The coccyx is the very tail of your spine and as it has no real use the intervention is minimal.
They don't even x-ray it and there's no treatment.
I think you would just be told to go home and see how it goes and take it easier for a while.
Hi i had this problem to but it was due to giving birth 9 years old,when my daughter travelled down the birth canal she moved the coccyx bone and it got very inflammed.It was painful for about 1 year then my gp referred me to the orthopaedic team in my local hospital,and i was admitted within 6mths and had the coccyx tail removed which i was so glad as the pain was making me feel sick all the time.Now i am pain free.Have you fallen or anything like that ? If so this may be why your having so much pain,this is very common in alot off people when giving birth or fallen from a high distance.Go to your gp and see if they will refer you worth a go.Good Luck Oh when you sit down get your self a blow up ring,this will take the pressure off the coccyx area and it does work.And there is treatment,a course off physio and pan relief injections,if that dont work they may consider removal off the tail.
It won't be broken because then you wouldn't be able to move! I've really badly hurt my coccyx twice and the first time I couldn't sit down at school or lie down and had to stand or take a cushion into school and when I tried to get out of bed I had to roll over really carefully onto my belly and put my knee on the floor then try and get my back straight and stand up. And if I tightened it up it would wreck. I didn't go to the doctors and the pain went away in about 2-3 month for me. Eee I hope I never do it again :P. Hope it gets better for you soon. xx
