Spinal Injury Due To Fall, Numbness, Bump On Coccyx, Difficulty Climbing Stairs. Medical Attention Needed?
I fell with a thud ice skating this afternoon and landed on the base of the spine . I couldnt move for a few minutes and needed feeling to come back.The pain is worsening I find stairs and steps difficult and I am even uncomfy lying on my side in bed. It difficult to move from sitting to standing and vice versa. Do I need a doctor for a bump to the coccyx?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Since you are having severe pain, limiting your basic movements also, it is better to consult a doctor for evaluation.
We mainly need to exclude any fracture of coccyx or any other lumbar vertebra.
Till you see a doctor, for pain relief, you could take diclofenac or ibuprofen tablets.
Wishing you good health,
