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

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 ?

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
