What Is The Solution For Excruciating Pain In Tailbone After Falling Down From Stairs After Painkillers, Pain Patches Have Failed?
I fell down a flight of stairs 10 days ago and the pain in my tailbone is excruciating. It hurts all the time, but It brings me to tears to do any barely lifting, standing on one leg (dressing), sitting, standing or walking for prolonged periods of time. I've tried ice/heat and ibuprofen. I've also tried pain patches, but I have a bad rash from them. Is there anything else I can try?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your problem even slight hair line fracture could cause such pain and this could be long lasting and you have to be patience and need to increase your pain bearing capacity, this may take at least couple of week, meanwhile you can take the "Diclofenac" 50 mg sustain release tab. this will give excellent result, nothing to worry about this, have nice day.
