Suggest Treatment For Tailbone Pain And Blood In Poop
Hi, about six months ago I fractured my tailbone causing severe pain in that area and my back. Recently I knocked my tailbone which caused swelling it that area and my lower back. I have also started to bleed when pooing. I am wondering what this could be?

Hi, thank you for posting.
I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.
Your symptoms are suggestive of a rectal injury that is caused by fractured tailbone.
To confirm the diagnosis you need:
1. Hip X-ray to check rectum condition.
2. Fibrorectosigmoidoscopy.
3. Complete blood count.
4. Urine test.
You should contact your orthopedist and your proctologist.
All the best.
Dr. Behar.
