How To Treat Pain And Tenderness In The Lumbar Area Caused Due To An Injury?
MY DAUGHTER 17, IS AN ATHLETE AND CHEERLEADER. SHE STUNTS SOME IN CHEER BUT DOESNT REMEMBER A SIGNIFICANT FALL WHERE SHE HURT HER TAILBONE. SHE IS VERY TENDER TO THE TOUCH ABOVE THE BUTT AND NEAR THE CRACK AREA AND IT FEELS WARM. IT HURTS TO SIT NORMAL. ICE HELPS SOME BUT IT DOESNT SEEM TO BE GETTING BETTER. SHE HAS A DR. APPT IN THE MORNING BUT I WAS JUST WONDERING YOUR THOUGHTS. THE WEBMD THING SAID ITS MOST LIKELY MUSCLE STRAIN.
Hard to tell without an exam. She needs an x-ray to make sure there is no fracture. It should be getting better it is a musculoskeletal strain. He may be better than ice.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Kathy Robinson
