Tail Bone Hurt In Fall Lead To Back Pain. Cannot Cough, Laugh, Breath. Recommendations?
i fell 4 feet on my tail bone and only on my tail bone against a hard flat floor, when I landed it was very hard for me to breath and my tail bone and back hurt immensely. But after one day of sleep my tail bone pain went away completely but my back hurts a lot, it hurts to raise my arm above my chest and to turn. I feel pain coming from my back on the left side where my lungs are. It is also painful to breathe, laugh and cough.

Your sacrum and or lumbars may be out of alignment. You also may have muscle strains from the impact. I recommend getting evaluated by a chiropractor to correct any subluxations from the fall.
