Should I get a second opinion please help :/
Hi, Tail bone pain is common after childbirth as during normal delivery, the bone gets stretched too far, I would recommend you to1 Use a ring pillow while sitting, so that you do not irritate your bone each time you sit2 While lying down do not lye straight, lye either on sides or prone,3 far a period of 14 days take anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day.4 Hot Site bath will help relieve pain. I hope that helps, If you have any more doubts, please feel free to contact.
