What should you pay attention to when you fall and injure your coccyx

The coccyx is a small bone in the tail of human beings. It has been gradually degenerated since our ancestors. The coccyx may be injured due to carelessness, such as accidentally falling from a high altitude and hitting the ground, or being hit by a hard foreign object. All of these may cause the coccyx to break. Let us now understand what we should pay attention to after a coccyx injury so that the coccyx can heal as soon as possible!

Guidance:

Usually, you must pay attention to sleeping supinely, as the coccyx is compressed, which aggravates the symptoms. You can change to sleeping on your side. Sitting on a chair or sofa will inevitably cause pressure on the coccyx. You can put an air cushion on your buttocks, or sit on a narrow bench to make the coccyx empty and avoid pressure. Drink more water, eat vegetables with more fiber, and keep the bowels open to avoid constipation stimulating and aggravating the symptoms. When constipation occurs, you can take honey and eat some bananas to relieve constipation. In severe cases, you can use laxatives such as Ma Ren Wan and liquid paraffin. In the first few days, the pain symptoms are obvious, and you can take indomethacin (Indomethacin) or ibuprofen (Fenbid) to relieve pain.

If you fell on your buttocks, you probably injured your coccyx. It may not be a fracture, but at least the surrounding soft tissues are damaged. You cannot sit for this kind of injury, but there is no special treatment for this kind of injury. Even if it is a fracture, you do not need to reset it. You can only rest and let it heal on its own. You cannot sit. It is best to sleep in a prone position. If you do not have any other discomfort, the chances of hurting your spine are small. Overall, your condition is not serious, but it is very troublesome. You cannot sit, so it should be painful during the exam. If you are worried, you can go to the hospital and use some topical medications to promote local repair.

If it is a local soft tissue contusion without a fracture, it can generally be recovered by adequate rest. If the pain is severe, appropriate medication can be used to relieve the pain. Suggestions: It is recommended to observe whether there is swelling or bruising, and whether there is severe pain after activity. If such symptoms are present, an X-ray should be taken to determine whether there is a fracture. If it is just pain, you can first take chlorzoxazone to relieve the pain and observe.

Recovery from fractures is a process of conditioning. It is best for patients to cooperate with oral medication treatment, which is more conducive to the recovery of fractures. For example, the turtle Astragalus bone peptide combination contains a super bone forming factor BMP that can effectively increase the number and activity of osteoblasts and promote new bone formation. It is rich in peptide substances, which can not only repair damaged bone tissue, but also have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. More ideally, it can also prevent fractures and increase bone density.
