I fell backwards on hockey skates and landed on my tailbone which whipped my head back to the ice. I had a helmet on so no head injury but my lower back is very stiff and sore. Surprisingly my tailbone is not sore to the touch, and I can t tell if there is swelling. The pain in my back goes from middle down to the end of my buttocks. Should I be going to see a doctor about this?
In my opinion you should stop worrying. For immediate relief have some painkiller along with a muscle relaxant for 3-5 days depending upon the pain and symptoms and have proper bed rest for a week. Do not lie down on soft mattress use hard one instead, Do not strain your self or over exert. U can also apply some good anti-inflammatory painkiller gel on your back. If the pain increases do some hot fermentation locally
