Feeling Nausea,dizziness And Weak Due To An Injury On Tailbone
Good Evening,
Went Ice Skating, slipped, both feet went up and fell directly on tail bone. As soon as I stood up nausea, dizzy, and feet went numb and felt very weak. Its been about 5 hrs now and the weakness and nausea come and go. Took Ibuprofen and icing it as we speak.
Previously a few ears back chipped my tailbone, while sledding. What do you think?

Hello,
I have studied your case.
Due to fall on hard surface sacrum may be injured. Due to microtauma there may be fibrosis formation.
Do hot fomentation over sacrum. It will take weeks to months to subside.
Use ring cushion and take sitz bath [sitting in lukewarm water for 10 min]
Take analgesic like nucoxia 90 once daily along with tab methylcobalamine 1500 mcg once daily consulting your doctor.
If not relieved with all these methods then local injection may be required. You can take this consulting your doctor.
For dizziness you can take tab domperidone consulting your doctor.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
