Lower Back Ache
I am having terrible ache in my lower back, at the end of my tailbone. It is concentrated at the point.
I used to have this pain sometimes in the past and it used to go away in a day or two. This time it is persisting for long and it is very intense, I can't sit properly.
It won't be possible for me to visit the doctor in the next 2 or 3 days, so till then, is there anything I can do? Thank you.
