Broken my Coccyx

[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.

Are you meant to be funny? - Rep

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.

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?

I'll need to book an appoitment but I'm in tests and the appointments are only in the weekday.

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 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 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. 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 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, with the area of the coccyx hanging off the posterior portion of the phone book.

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!
