Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What treatment for a tailbone injury that is over a month old. My sister fell down the steps and broke her kneecap and tore ligaments. She is in a cast from her thigh to her ankle but her tailbone makes it almost impossible for her to sit in bed or in the wheelchair. What do you suggest? My sister is about 300 pounds and very weak.
See the best treatment is warm water fomentation and Physiotherapy treatment especially ultrasound therapy at the tail bone, and tens therapy can be given under supervision of expertise Physiotherapists. Which will relieve pain after max one month?
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Hemang S Jani, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
