What Do Pain In Back Muscle And Knot Near The Tailbone Mean?

For the past two weeks I ve had what felt like back muscle pain. But had not gone away. I have a knot in lower left side close to tail bone. And every night for about a week or more I awake to the smell of burnt toast. Yet the smell when awake is not there. It s within my dream but no dream has to deal with food. But when it comes I become alarmed and awaken. I have always had high senses. It s a joke within my family that I have bionic senses. Focused on my hearing and taste

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

Due to fall on hard surface sacrum may be injured. Due to microtauma there may be fibrosis formation.

Do hot fomentation over sacrum. It will take weeks to months to subside.

Use ring cushion and take sitz bath [sitting in lukewarm water for 10 min]
Take analgesic like nucoxia 90 once daily along with tab methylcobalamine 1500 mcg once daily consulting your doctor.
If not relieved with all these methods then local injection may be required. You can take this consulting your doctor.
Clinically spinal origin of pain needs to be ruled out, if required MRI spine can be done.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
