What to do if having excruciating pain while sitting, sleeping after hurting tailbone?
Patient: I fell off a skateboard today and landed on my tailbone. It doesn t hurt too much to stand or even walk but after sitting for a while I get pretty bad pain even more so after lying down which is just excruciating. Also I have had an insane amount of gas. Is this usual? Should I see a Dr? If so When is the ideal time frame? Doctor: Hello,Your symptoms seem to be related to the injury. I would recommend to do an X-ray of the tailbone to exclude the possibility of a fracture. Meanwhile,I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Dorina GurabardhiGeneral & Family Physician
