Severe Pain In The Tail Bone Area Followed By Difficulty In Moving Leg. Had Bad Fall On The Tailbone Causing Severe Bruises. Should I Go For X-ray?
I fell last friday and again on wednesday on my tail bone. I went to the er and they said it was just severely bruised & could possibly have a hairline fracture but they didn t see one. Tonight driving home I got a severe pain in my tail bone region and then all of a sudden I couldn t move my right leg and almost wrecked and it would have been bad. What is going on should I go back and have more xrays ?
I would suggest you to see a x ray and find out if there is abnormal shape of coccyx,I would recommend you following thing. 1.sitting in a tub filled with warm water to provide heat fomentation 2.take Brufen tablet daily 3. Avoid sitting on hard chair, if you want to sit, use ring shape cushion.
