Any Suggestion For Painful Sore On Right Shoulder And Tail Bone?

I fell down the stairs (12 internal steps) this morning. I slid down on my back and hit my lower back and shoulder.
I heard a crack but once I had got over the shock was able to sit up and stand up. I now feel sore on my right shoulder and tail bone and whilst I can move my left arm fine it feels heavy and achey. Do you think I am just bruised? thanks

Hi,

I have read your query.

You should get xray of shoulder AP and coccyx in Lateral view and send me the report, only on xray we can say whether fracture has occurred or not.

Till then do not lift heavy weight and try to sit on soft place to prevent further pain in tail bone.

Take 1 tab. aceclofenac+serratiopeptidase by prescription of your doctor.

Apply hot packs for 30 min in morning and evening .

I hope it helps.
