What Medications Should Be Taken For Painful Coccyx After Accidental Fall? No Relief From Advil And Tynelol
I lost my balance in my bathroom carrying a stool with one hand. Some how whe I turned back to reach for something in my other hand and turned back around to leave the room, part of the stool leg swung in between my legs and threw me into the side of the bathtub and after hitting it hard on my right cheek first, I then landed at an angle between my butt checks and hit my tailbone. The pain was almost unbearable. I began to sweat and my heart started racing. I finally managed to get to the freezer to fill a large gpbaggie with ice and as to. It for 20 minutes. This was 6 days ago & I can't sit or lie down without taking 4 advil every 6 hrs & 2 extra strength Tylenol every 4-6 hrs plus if have to take clonazopmpam to sleep. The pain seems to not have much improvement in 6 days! My right cheek hit first and still very sore and very dark black/blue/red! How long is this discomfort going to last? I don't like taking medication & don't unless I have to...and especially all the Advil & Tylenol I'm taking for the pain now. I'm almost 63 & white female. Please give me your thoughts. Thanks so much. Vicki in Cumming, GA.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
You are aged 63 years, and feeling pain since 6 days, inspite of heavy dose of pain killers.
It appears that there is crush injury to the bone and tissues of chin and the hip. There is every possibility of getting infected, so i advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods, till you get complete relief of pain.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods to have early recovery.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
