Hello Practo User,
It is called as POST TRAUMATIC COCCIDYNIA.
It is not serious,but will require a lot of attention from you.
The area which is injured is not exactly bone,but a cartilage.
Whenever you sit on a hard surface or even sit for a long time it will hurt you.
Pain killers will give you temporary relief.
Ideally you should see that there is no pressure on that area.
You can use a SACRAL CUSHION.
Avoid sitting continuously for a long time.
Avoid riding a two wheeler.
Health Tips
It will take a long time for recovery..so follow precautions for at least 6 months.
Regards.
