I think I may have broken my tailbone =(?!
Question: I think I may have broken my tailbone =(!?
I can't sit down at all!. I'm in excruciating pain as I'm writing this!. Basically, here's what happened!. I live in VA and we've had a drought because it's rained maybe 3 times all summer!. Thanks to TS Fay, we started getting rain yesterday!. I went to Walmart & slipped in the parking lot on my way in!. I didn't fall-- I just lost my footing!. Then on the way out, I slipped again in a different spot & caught myself, but basically every part of my body hurt!. My knees, ankles, back, etc!. My husband gave me a massage and I felt fine today!. Tonight, I was laying down and bent my legs a certain way and I got this excruciating pain in my (this is so embarrassing), upper butt crack region!. I don't know if it's related to the Walmart incident at all or what's going on!. Could it be a pulled muscle!? I can't stand up straight or bend over much!. I'm just kind of hunched!. I'm a senior in college and I really hate missing class!. I don't feel like waiting all night in a germy ER when my own bed would be more comfortable!. I thought about going to the doctor's office in the morning!. Could they tell then!? Do you think it could just be a pulled muscle!? How would I have broken my tailbone from just bending my legs a certain way!? What should I take for the pain!? I have some left over percocet from December 2007!. I also have ibuprophen & extra strength Tylenol!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
I'm pretty sure you need to slam down on the tailbone to break it!.!.!.!.slam HARD!. Then, from what I understand, it hurts to sit and you get a donut butt pillow!.
You might have pulled a muscle or pinched a nerve, but without an impact I doubt it could be that serious!. Nothing some painkillers, heat/cold, and a chiropractor couldn't fix in a few days!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
