Broken my Coccyx

[Ohirian]

O dear, I broke my coccyx yesterday and the Doctors can't do anything about it. Although its small and out of the way its the most painful bone to break and hurts all the time.

Does anyone know any ideas to prevent as much pain as I'm getting? E.G. When I sit down/stand up I get an immense pain.

Sit on a pillow :)

Sit on a pillow :)

Still doesn't prevent the pain when bending :(

[Wayne]

That sounds really painful. Sitting on a pillow or cushion would help.

[EleanorG]

Um, I would suggest talking to your doctor and asking that question, incase someone suggests a way or you discover a way of reducing pain, but would inflict more damage.

[Abbie.]

you broke your what? LOL

[Jordy]

The Doctor would of suggested something if you actually went, he would of also told you it's IMPOSSIBLE to break your penis.

[edgates]

The coccyx (pronounced kok-siks), commonly referred to as the tailbone, is the final segment of the human vertebral column.

Sounds very painful. Maybe try going to A&E? Or getting some really strong painkillers from the chemist?

[Abbie.]

how can you break that like seriously?

I've got pain killers but at the hospital they didn't say anything about preventing pain from bending and stuff.

Are you meant to be funny? - Rep

I'm using neurofen at the moment, can't use anything too strong as I've got mocks.

Quite easily, it's one of the most fragile bones in the body.

[Seads]

Sounds very painful :( hope you get better.

[Sammeth.]

I remember when I bruised mine. It hurt for like ages :( I cant imagine the pain of breaking it. Just....avoid bending I guess. I think the most sensible answer was to ask a doctor, as we may say something that makes it worse.

[Jordy]

Are you meant to be funny? - RepNo I am being deadly serious, YOU'RE the one who's trying to be funny. It is not possible to break your Penis, it's a fact.

He never stated that he broke his penis :rolleyes:

Hope it feels better soon toby ;)

[User]

Owch that sounds really painful maybe visit the Hospital? Because maybe your Doctor is dumb no offence Lol

[sarey]

I hope you feel better soon. I remember when I hurt that bone, I went to the hospital and because it was so small, they couldn't do anything about it. It hurt like hell to sit and lay down on my back. It hurt for SO LONG. Give or take, a few years. It feels much better now though, thankfully, because it was such a pain in the butt. Literaly. Well, near the butt.

Could you go back and ask for tips? Or look around on websites for tips on how to cope with the pain/lessen it?

Thanks

It's the hospital.

Not to the hospital, I'll have to wait around 3 hours.

Firstly, I'd recommend a homeopathic remedy 'symphytum' - get a 12c strength from your local pharmacy and suck one tablet daily for the next four weeks - this will promote your body's own healing of the fracture. It is also completely safe.

Fortunately for most people with coccyx fractures, time eventually heals things nicely, but this often takes a number of months.

It is important that you are taking regular anti-inflammatory painkillers (http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/medicines/effect/joints.shtml) as these will help to speed up your recovery and your GP should advise you about these.

Some anit-inflammatories can cuase stomach problems such as ulcers, when taken in high doses, so if you’re prone to this remember to let your doctor know.

You may also find that the natural supplements (http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/health_advice/facts/vitamins.htm) glucosamine and cod liver oil are surprisingly effective at easing symptoms as these also work in reducing inflammation.

Be careful with lifting or bending and avoid heavy exercise at the moment, but otherwise you should aim to lead a normal life if possible.

If your pain persists however, there may be a case for seeing a spinal specialist or a pain specialist since injections or epidurals are sometimes used in severe cases to ease the pain.

Pain Relief

You may be given medication to ease the pain (http://www.thirdage.com/pain-management). To reduce discomfort during bowel movements:



Drink plenty of fluids and eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Stool softeners may help decrease straining during bowel movements.
Sitz baths can help relieve muscle (http://www.thirdage.com/bones-joints-muscles) spasms. A sitz bath involves soaking the **** area in warm tap water for 10-20 minutes.

Sitting can be very uncomfortable after a coccyx fracture. Suggestions to make sitting less painful include:



Sit on an air cushion or doughnut pad.
Alternate between sitting on one side of the buttock or the other.
Try sitting on a hard chair. Sinking into a soft chair sometimes increases the pressure on the coccyx.
Slouch to move your weight forward and off the coccyx. Note: This advice holds only until you are well enough to sit properly again.
Sit on a telephone book (http://www.thirdage.com/books), with the area of the coccyx hanging off the posterior portion of the phone book (http://www.thirdage.com/books).

MAN that must hurt.

[Pazza]

Ouch.

I remembered bruising mine (I was holding fence at park, leaning backwards then i let go and I landed right on it. in SO much pain)
So i can't imagine how much breaking it must hurt.

When I did that I laid on my side, with something behind me to stop me rolling over, that was watching tv and sleeping

get well soon!

Thanks for that!

Edit: Thanks for the info Plank, missed your post!

[Bun]

OUCH man sorry to hear that, get better soon. i hate banging mine :(.



just out of interest, how did you break it? :P

[Describe]

No I am being deadly serious, YOU'RE the one who's trying to be funny. It is not possible to break your Penis, it's a fact.

You should have googled Coccyx before you replied to this thread. When have you ever heard of a Penis being called a Coccyx? I mean, seriously.

You must be in excrutiating pain - I couldn't Imagine breaking mine but it hurts just smacking it against something. I'd suggest you sit on a 'Donut' - One of the pillows with a hole in the middle. Something about the shape makes you more comfortable and helps mend the Tailbone.

[le harry]

Oww haha it hurts so much just landing on it or something, I can't imagine your pain lol

[Tristan]

Damn, that must be so incredibly painful. Just falling over and landing on it hurts bad.
What did you do? Lose your footing when you kicked a ball and slid over onto it and landed real hard? Get slide tackled and fall hard?

[Ohirian]

Slipped on the grass and did this weird kinda flip and kicked myself in it. Didn't even know it could happen till it did.

[Abbie.]

i remember i landed on my tail bone on the metal bit of a trampoline

it hurt so bad lol


y couldnt u just say tailbone at the start of the thread, i thought u broke something else hahha

[Soy]

Ouch I've had painfull memories with my Coccyx and my Sacrum.

Anyone who laughs at it wouldn't if they had these problems themselves.
Some of the most singely painfull experiences in my life came from these two bones
