Stair fall
I fell down on the stairs and i got hurt. The pain is in the coccyx region. It's difficult for me to stand from sitting position or to sit from standing position. Its difficult to sit normally. It's even to difficult to turn or bend. I'm scared that it might be something serious. From feb 2024 I fell down the stairs 3 times. First time i had ankle sprain. Second time it hit my upper back and the pain comes when i turn side to side in bed. This is the third time.
