What Causes Lower Back Pain While Sitting Post A Fall?
I missed judge my step and fell about 3 steps on my bottock in the sand on Saturday but I realise when I lie on my buttocks, there is a slight discomfort where the split of my buttocks is. I don t feel this discomfort when I lie on my tummy, side or sit in an upright position. May I ask what could be the cause of this discomfort?

Hello,
Thank you for using healthcare magic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
It may be a fracture of coxigeus which is the tail bone.
You should look for change of color of your stool ( bleeding in feces), because in rare cases it can damage evenn the rectum.
Otherwise this is a pretty bening fracture that does not need any surgery but heals itself withing 4 or 5 weeks. Need to modify position during this peroid.
Wish you quick recovery.
