For a fresh fall with pain over the hip and tail bone, the safest painkiller for you is paracetamol 500 mg, one tablet up to three times a day after food for 2 to 3 days. Since you are on blood pressure medicine, please avoid ibuprofen, diclofenac and similar anti inflammatory tablets, as they raise blood pressure and can affect the kidneys. A topical diclofenac gel applied locally two to three times a day is acceptable and much safer than tablets. Ice packs for 15 minutes three to four times a day for the first 48 hours, then warm fomentation, rest on a firm surface, and a soft ring or doughnut cushion for sitting will help the tail bone pain a lot. Your vitamin D, magnesium, iron and Gabaneuron can all be continued as prescribed. At 48 with low ferritin, do not ignore the possibility of a crack in the bone: please get an X-ray of the pelvis with hip and the sacrococcygeal region if the pain is severe, if you cannot bear weight or walk, if the leg looks shortened or turned out, if there is significant swelling or bruising, or if pain is not clearly better in 3 to 4 days. Go to casualty at once for numbness or weakness of the legs, difficulty passing urine or stool, or numbness around the private parts. You are welcome to consult me here (fee Rs 500) or at Synergy Multispeciality Hospital, Miraj if it is not settling.
After a fall with hip tailbone pain, please get examined to rule out a fracture before taking pain medication. You can consult me for an assessment and appropriate treatment.
