What Is Causing The Soreness In Lower Abdomen?

I fell off a horse yesterday and landed on my tailbone. I either bruised it bad or broke it. I am a nurse and I know that there is nothing you can really do for it except ice and rest, which I gave been doing. But today my lower abdomen has been sore. Like I did a bunch of abdominal crunches, but did not. I don t know if it s from the jolt of everything, or the fact that I am using these muscles to help me move from a sitting and lying position?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello again,

If there is pain then you need clinical examination and further investigation.

Coccyx bone can be better seen on CT scan.

I will advise you MRI spine and sacrum .CT scan or EMG-NCV nerve conduction study may be required after clinical examination.
X ray may not show details.


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.
