Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Tailbone And Abdominal Area

I went sledding 5 days ago and got thrown from my sled and flew in the air about 10 feet. I landed on my tailbone. It still hurts and there is a dull pain. I found now I have pain in my lower abdomen. It is a crampy pain that only goes away if I take ibuprofen. It feels like there is something there. What are the chances I have internal bleeding from this?

Hello,
It is very rare to have abdominal bleeding and patient is not noticing this. I would recommend you to get ultrasound examination of the abdomen to see if there is any damage inside.
For tail bone pain you should use sitz bath. Avoid sitting on hard surface for long time and use cushion like seats.
Take brufen if pain is very bad. If this pain remain continue than you should get x ray to see if there is any tail bone fracture.
I hope these steps will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
