What Treatment Is Suggested For Damaged Tail Bone With Blood In The Stool?
I was in a snowboarding accident and think I have damaged/broken my tailbone... it is sore and I have a weird feeling in my gut/bowls... I am also experiencing blood in my stool.... should I get this checked out, and if so, who should I see? ...an internist ? ...orthopedist?

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to the injury. I suggest to go as soon as possible at the emergency room. An abdominal ultrasound and an X-ray of the tailbone are needed for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
