Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hello, Thanks for your query. From description it seems to be bruised tailbone. Do hot fomentation over sacrum. Use ring cushion and take sitz bath [sitting in lukewarm water for 10 min]. Take analgesic like nucoxia 90 once daily after consulting with your doctor. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
