I feel on my bottom last Monday !?

Question

I went to a MD, my tail bone is injured or bruise. All they could offer me is 600mg of ibobrufen. Any experience about this or how long will it cure.

Answer 1

Try to sit down as little as possible.
When you sit, try to sit on something very soft, like a thick cushion.
Expect it to take a lot longer than you think it should for you to start feeling better, like 2 weeks or more.
I found walking around seemed to help feel more comfortable.

(I had the same problem and wanted to go back to the dr. because it wasn't better after 10 days.....heck, it took 2 to 4 weeks for it to get a lot better )

Answer 2

many people get bruised tailbones. Soaking in a hot bath with 2c. of dissolved Epsom salts will help reduce the inflammation and take down the pain. It's probably going to take several weeks for you to feel better. Try not to sit unless absolutely necessary. You have to give this area a Rest. If you don't feel better after a few weeks see your doctor again.
