Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

Strict bed rest is needed for treatment of fracture in the sacral spine. Application of lumbo sacral belt is also helpful for pain relief. The non-displaced fracture usually helps themselves in a month and rest is recommended for that period.

Take tablet Ultracet P for pain relief and include calcium supplements. Visit orthopedic surgeon for a detailed clinical examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
