<human>: i am 70 years old female I fell on my stairs several days ago and bounced my tailbone really hard on at least two steps.. Everyone tells me there is nothing a dr. can do but i would like to know what i can do to not make it worse and to heal as quickly as possiblel
<bot>: Hi, The pain in your tailbone area, is caused by the local trauma and neuromuscular damage. It will need some weeks for the pain to heal completely. I suggest you to:- Take Naproxen daily, for three-four weeks, it will relieve pain until tailbone heals-Use heating pad or ice pack-Try not to put too much pressure on your tailbone region-You can also try physical therapy Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
