I recently had a fall, and badly bruised my tailbone. Any suggestions for relieving discomfort, (i take meds)?

Question:

I fell down some stairs, and have had an xray, but havent gotten results. This happened 5 days ago, but still hurts like hell. I can walk around, but it is the sitting and getting up and down that is really bothering me. Thanks

Answers:
i have done this too, the best thing to do is to keep the tailbone suspended in the air, and to keep it cold(reduces pain) but not to put ice directly on it.. and try to put as little weight on it as possible

Get a little kid's innertube, so that when you sit your tailbone is suspended.

Try a hot Sitz's bath-this is used for hemorrhoid sufferers. It can be of use to you too. Look it up in the net.
