Went to ER last night with pubic/groin pain. I have a hx of chronic coccygeal pain. Are they associated?

Question

I had a significant fall approximately 2 years ago and my tailbone has hurt ever since. I have also developed very awkward bowel patterns, which may or may not be associated. Last night my pain was in the groin/symphisis pubis area. Is it referred pain? I had an x-ray some time ago in which I could (I thought) clearly see a break in the coccyx. The x-ray technician agreed, but the radiologist did not. What should my plan of action be? I do not want to be in pain anymore.

Answer 1

I would go to a different doctor and get a second opinion, especially if your still in pain. Also, from experience with a foot injury...if I had listenend to the dr. and not the xray tech I would probably still be in a cast and in pain. So sometimes, even though they don't have as much experience sometimes the xray techs see more day to day than the drs and can actually help you out more. So go and get yourself a second opinion. Don't be like me and be stuck in a cast for four months and in a wheelchair wondering what on earth is wrong with you after a bad fall. Good luck and hope you feel better soon.

Answer 2

Percocet is a narcotic and is oftentimes prescribed via docs as a non everlasting degree for sever soreness, such as after surgical technique. regrettably, Percocet would not "scientific care" something however the soreness. i could think of maximum docs could be extra inquisitive approximately why your lower back is in lots soreness. you would be able to get a doctor to offer you some extra whilst he's determining his diagnoses yet i in my opinion do not comprehend any wellness care expert that would desire to proceed to prescribe Percocet except you had a terminal maximum cancers or something comparable.
