Suggest treatment for chronic tail bone pain and numbness in the knee
Patient: hi doctors, my name is anita and im inquiring regarding chronic pain ( as of yesterday evening ) in my tail bone, i did not fall just almost tripped from behind but caught myself, since then from my knees down i feel numbness or tickling sensation and the pain is not aliviating, can i get your input and do i have to seek immediate help or home excercise is okay ? Doctor: Hello,I have studied your case and most probably you are having disc herniation with nerve compression in the spine. I would recommend you to get some rest. Take hot water fomentation in the back and also kep your leg elevated over pillow. You should also take tablet Pregabalin M one daily.This will decrease nerve edema and also take care of the pain.    I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.thanks
