Tailbone Injury, Walking Hurts, Tiredness, Nauseated. What Is Going On?
I fell on my tailbone about a week ago and the buttock area on a slippery sidewalk. When I first got up I felt like the wind was knocked out of me. I didn't hit my head, but now there is some slight pain when I walk, but more than anything I feel tired and sitting makes it stiff. I also feel a bit nauseated, nothing too bad, but just enough to make one feel not well. Any thoughts.
