What Is The Remedy For The Pain In The Tail Bone Extending Towards The Hamstring Area?

Hello I fell on my back side two weeks ago while snowboarding. At first it just felt bruised around my tailbone area then the pain went to the back of my legs (hamstring area). I cant isolate the pain like I could if I had pulled something. It also hurts in the back of my legs when I cough. Should I see my Doctor?

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Yes, you need to see a orthopaedic doctor as you might have a hamstring injury. If there is tear suspected by doctor then you need to confirm this by MRI. You will need rest, Pain killer like Brufen and compression bandage, Some time if tear is big then surgery may be needed.
