Tailbone Pain After a Fall? Get Help Today!
Hello Doctor,
I slipped on some snow and fell directly onto my backside, landing on my tailbone. It's been 4 days since the fall, and I've been experiencing ongoing pain and discomfort in my coccyx area. The pain seems to flare up like a sharp spark when I bend or sit in a chair. I'm concerned about the persistence of the pain. What should I do to manage this and ensure it heals properly?

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
I understand that a tailbone injury can be quite uncomfortable. Fortunately, fractures are rare in these cases, but long-term pain can sometimes occur. In such situations, I typically consider treatments like injections to help manage the pain and reduce inflammation. However, I must note that I can't promise specific results without physically examining you. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be important to schedule a visit so I can assess the injury more thoroughly and recommend the best course of action for you.
Thanks
