Coccyx pain
Hi Last yr I fell down and slightly broke my coccyx spine. Now it's been more than a year and still the pain is there. I've tried salt baths along with physiotherapy also but no relief. Please suggest some home remedies or do I need to get it checked again? Thanks & Regards Vaishali

Hi I understand this problem can be very frustrating and long lasting. Are you sure you had “slightly broke” or fractured your coccyx ? It’s quite rare a fracture... has the fracture united or non union is present? Non union maybe a cause of persistent pain. Do you feel constipated often ? Your condition needs bit more information...
Next Steps
Consult an Orthopedic surgeon

If you’ve exhausted with conservative management, then we need to find out if there is persistent inflammation at coccyx. If yes, then local injection can relieve the symptoms
Next Steps
Meet a doc, get an MRI
