Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
Possibly you could have injured the coccyx (tail bone) due to fall. An xray of the sacrum will help in establishing any bony injury.
An xray of the hip joint will show up the status of the prosthetic components in your hip.
The initial measures for the injured tail bone is as follows -
* Sit completely upright with proper posture — keeping your back firmly against the chair, knees level with your hips, feet flat on the floor and shoulders relaxed
* Sitz baths (which involves soaking hips and buttocks in warm water)
* Lean forward while sitting down
* Sit on a doughnut-shaped pillow or wedge (V-shaped) cushion
* Apply heat or ice to the affected area
*
Physical therapy involving strengthening of pelvic area muscles , stimulation with
ultrasound therapy
* Take over-the-counter pain relievers, such as
acetaminophen (
Tylenol),
ibuprofen (Advil)
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
