Can you suggest something to put on a bruise? I fell down the stairs and hit my tailbone, it really…

Go and get an X-ray, as it's dangerous and a fracture could be missed.

any NSAID ointment

tanya Unlikely to be a fracture
I can sit and walk
And the pain is subsiding...
I'll monitor it until tomorrow
If it stays the same
I'll definitely go for an X-ray

tanya When you have a fracture, sitting and walking don't inherently hurt, which is why it's dangerous.

I'll wait until tomorrow, and if the pain doesn't go away, I'll do it.
It's already starting to subside, though...
It just hurts right in the middle of my buttocks (excuse the details).

tanya What's the difference between a fracture and a regular bruise?

Take care of yourself ♥️

Thank you so much

tanya Take a better picture. The other day, a girl posted about falling and not going to the doctor. Then, about half a year later, she started having severe pain, and it turned out to be a compression fracture, or something like that. And it healed incorrectly.

tanya Presence of a fracture line on the X-ray. No other way. With a compression fracture, there won't be a fracture line. The tailbone is simply pressed into the segment of the spine above it.

tanya Thank you! I'll go tomorrow and get a scan.

Are you sure it's just a bruise?

Katya Hope you're doing well

I had a long-term pain. I fell badly on the ice as a child. No idea if there was a fracture or not. Who took us anywhere
