Hi doctor, This sandy, for the past two weeks I m getting a severe pain in my back bone starting from bottom of my anus(coccyx bone). When I noticed it in depth I understood that I met with an small accident before 2years. Where I fell down directly on my bumps from a height of 120cm. So, please let me know what are the precautions to be taken further for best result. Thanks in advance.

General & Family Physician, Dr. Vasudha's Response
Hi, I understand your concern. The pain you have is due to fracture of tail bone during your accident 2 years back. Coccyx( tail bone) fractures usually heal on it's own within 12-16 weeks, IT is still symptomatic after 2 years in your case, & more over you have pain in complete back bone. -You need to consult an orthopedic doctor for management/ Evaluatiom=n of complete back bone pain &more sophisticated treatment for tail bone fracture if needful. - Bed rest/ use of coccyx pillow while sitting/ Hot,cold compress, pain killer like Ibuprofen can be taken ( till then.after food). Thanks
