No need to get worried

Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
If there is no direct trauma to the abdominal or vaginal area, and there is no pain is there, then there is nothing to worry.
There are absolutely no chances of trauma or injury to the surgical site.
However, keep a track of abdominal or vaginal pain, and consult your doctor in case any of it happens.

So I have taken Motrin and used ice as my tailbone area really is hurting. At times when standing up after sitting or walking the pain is awful. 7/10. Is that normal for coccyx injury? It is hurting more now then it did this morning.
