Coccyx injury

I have fallen twice on staircase and landed staright on my tailbone. The first injury healed in some time, this was about two and a half years back. But last year I had slipped and fallen sith a thud on the staircase, this left me with severe pain. Visited the doctor, had been given that injection in the affected area, had taken many painkillers for about more than six months. Used tail bone cushion with a hole in its centre. Though have decreased use of the cushion to  but at times thepain still persists very severely and leaves me shaken. Have been trying to find of exercises which can help me fight this pain. Is there any alternative way to heal it or is time the only answer. Also since I still suffer from pain, would it be fine for me to start aerobics as an exercise option. Please suggest.

Hello!

You should try doing some lower back exercises to strengthen your muscles and decrease the pain.

Visit a physiotherapist and go for some therapy and if it does not help you would need to visit an orthopedician specialized in spine problems for proper diagnosis of your injury and proper course of treatment. Try also to follow proper ergonomics and you would need proper bed and chairs while working and sleeping.

Take care!
