How To Treat Pain In Tail Bone?

I broken my tailbone when I was 16 years old. I am 27 years old now. As I get older my pain gets worse. After I had my daughter and I was recovering in the hospital, I went paralized for about 10 minutes and told my nurse, but they didn't seem to concerned. What should I do, I would like to have another child, but I am afraid that if I do I could be paralized for good if I deliver naturally.

Hello,

I have studied your case.

Do hot fomentation over sacrum. It will take years 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.
If not relieved with all these methods then local injection may be required. You can take this consulting your doctor.
Clinically spinal origin of pain needs to be ruled out, if required MRI spine can be done.

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
