Suggest Remedy For Pain In Buttocks After A Fall

I fell down the stairs back in December and I hurt my back. Also I bruised my right butt cheek really bad. I experienced light headedness and felt like I was going to pass out. I also was sick to my stomach after the fall. I can barely touch my right butt cheek....it hurts that bad. Also I feel a knot and other lumps around it. I m starting to worry. By the end of the day I can barely walk. What is it ? And what should I do?

Hello,

The severe inability to walk and day to day work interference indicates possible issue of musculoskeletal trauma involving lower back and spino coccygeal region. There can be:
- Coccygeal fracture
- Sprain or strain involving paraspinal ligaments
- Vertebra compression fracture
- Reduced disc space between L3 and L4 or L4 and L5

It is best recommended for following measures at present till you approach your primary care for examination:
- Local application of heating pad
- Use analgesic spray or ointment containing Diclofenac, Capsaicin, linseed oil
- Anti inflammatory medications containing Tramadol hydrochloride or Etoricoxib

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
