Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have fallen twice onto my tail bone in the last year, no immediate pain, now I am having great pain in the tail bone area when I sit and lay down. What specific type of Dr should I see? My PCP doesn t seem to be concerned thinks I have Arthritis there now.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It seems that you have a chronic inflammation at tail bone. I would suggest you to get an x ray done to rule out a fracture. Sitz bath will help. You may need local steroid injection shot. Consult an Orthopaedician.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions. Regards, Dr. Mahaveer Patil
