Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
As per the MRI report there is a small fracture of sacro coccygeal junction which is the lowermost tip of the spine. It has caused a local soft tissue swelling in the area. Since there is no displacement of the fracture she needs a bed rest for it to heal. This can take 6-8 weeks for complete healing. She can start with her normal activities after 6 weeks when she is pain free. She needs to avoid all the painful movements. Oral anti inflammatory pain killers will also help.
Hope my answer is helpful.
