I had a bad fall on saturday night on my bum and i think ive damaged my tailbone?


Question:
I havent been able to sit up properly ever since, have a just hurt it badly or do i need to go see a doctor? I am concerned as i work in a office and cant currently go sit on my bum for prolonged amounts of time.

Answers:
Ouch, and no, there is nothing a doctor can do for that..

I broke my tailbone snowboarding..(even though my hubbie suggested skiing first, lol)

I fell so hard on it and broke it, went to the doctor, but he said he couldn't put a cast on my butt...lol.

Not that its a huge butt, but they can't do anything for that, its a non moveable joint, something you just have to have some pain medicine for in the meantime, and try not to hurt it again... :-(

Actually, did that doctor get off on feeling my ***?
could be bruised or broken, could be some other part of the back.

you should see a doctor and get X-rays.
go to the docter get it checked out and stay home with a heating pad on your bed for about a week it should be better buy then
I injured mine once too when I fell down a flight of hard stairs. I went to the emergency room and they said I fractured a bone. I only had to rest (mostly on my side), apply ice and take an anti-inflammatory. Get a donut pillow to sit on, trust me it helps a lot. You should still see your own doctor, but I just wanted to tell you what helped me.
Better get an xray & get one of those donut shaped cushions to sit on they really help.
Sounds like you hurt your coccyx (tailbone). There isn't much that can be done for it, it just takes time. You may find some relief in sitting on a blow-up, donut-shaped pillow. See your doctor for confirmation and he may be able to give you some pain relief.
try getting an x-ray+ctscan caus your concern
you might even have lots of injuries wich culd take place if you wil not consult your doctor
for your office work try calling for a sick leave
walk it off, dont be a cry baby
The doctor can't put your butt in a sling but I know from experience how painful a broken tail bone is!! A donut cushion helps but time is the only real solution. However, it would be prudent to have spinal x-rays to make sure nothing else was injured that might cause problems later.
go to your doctor or chiropractor and get an x ray
