Help!!! I fell down the staircase and my bone?!!!!?!


Question:

Help!!! I fell down the staircase and my bone?!!!!?

Well, today i fell down the staircase because my sock was too silky and that the staircase is originally narrow and the steps are shorter, i know i should have been careful. Anyway, i went not head down but straight down on the side of my back slipping from my buttock down and down the steps. My buttocks really hurt and like the bone in between, i don't know whether its a tail bone or what but the bone in between the buttocks hurt me really much. I can walk without pain and all but when i sit and stand, then that's when it really hurts. I'd took this patches helping to sooth it.

Will it heal and go back to normal and will it affect me in adulthood like will my bone be really bad? I am 16 years old right now and will it effect me in having childbirth ?And will the pain go away within a week? By the way, i did hurt myself once before this in the same spot. Please help, thanks!

oh yea, like i can walk perfectly fine and walk quick but not run and that it has only hurts when i sit. if i sit for too long and when i get up then it will have this sharp pain. it doesn't hurt as much to the point that i would want to die immediately. thanks for everyone for their advice.


Answers:

I have hurt that "tail bone" numerous times before. I hurt it in 7th grade the first time, and now I am 30 and have hurt it at least 3 more times since then. Seems like when you hurt it once, it is more sensitive forever. However, I have 2 kids and have had NO problems with childbirth because of it. But if you do not let it rest, it will not heal very fast at all, and it IS very painful. The last time I went to the doctor, he recommended I get a "donut." It's a little round rubber thing you blow up and sit on, and BOY DOES IT HELP!!!! They're not very expensive, and it helps take pressure off of that bone when you're sitting or lying down, and seems to make it heal much faster. Good luck!!!
