Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I fell on my tailbone playing tennis 5 days ago. I am 77 years old and terrified of taking anything for pain after having an allergic reaction to a medication with Codeine in it years ago after foot surgery. A friend recommended Cryoderm. What do you think?
HI Well come to HCM If this is tail bone injury then pain would remain there for quite long time, initially analgesic gives good result but later on taking this would be of no work and pain can be managed with conservative management like sitting, there is device for this comes with air filled in it (Air tube) and this would be much better for pain, hope this information helps, take care.
