Question:
Had a fall and left hip and tailbone/ lower back hurts.?
I had a fall this morning and stright away my left hip began to hurt. Someone checked my hip and said I was OK, so I could get back into my chair, about 15 minutes later my lowerback began to feel tender and sore.
I've taken some painkiller but both hip and lower back still feel sore and tender and they do hurt.
Should I leave it for a while or should I ask to see a doctor?
Answers:
Try a chiropracter. They specialize in massaging the muscles right around your spine, and when you fell those muscles very likely clamped up hard to protect the bones! A chiropractor will not hurt, there are no needles and it's a ton cheaper than a doctor. It's worth a try.
I went to one for years and my wife went after a slip & fall knocked her back out of alignment. It really helped us both.
