Should I Be Concerned For Numbness In Arms, Hands, Soreness In Thighs, Bump In Head After Falling Down?

I have a tailbone that sticks out. I fell in the bathroom real hard. I slipped over 3 weeks ago and hit the tailbone and my head hit the tub. My head still has a bump till this day and my tailbone still bothers me. I notice since that fall my thighs are sore but since the fall I've been resting. Also my arms and hands feel numb. My neck was real bad but starting to feel better. Should I be concerned?? I got layed off from work 5 months ago and I do not have health insurance.

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, I would advise that you need complete medical examination.

It seems that your neck had got hurt resulting in compression of cervical nerves leading to numbness of arm.

You can take painkiller like Ibuprofen twice daily after meals along with a muscle relaxant like Chlorzoxazone and Omeprazole 40 mg for relief from your symptoms.

You should do sitz bath two to three times in a day. For this you should sit in a rub of lukewarm water. This will help in relief from pain in your tail bone.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
