Tailbone pain
I had an accident 20 days back, got direct hit by bus.
I am diagnosed with T12 compression fracture, but from 10 days i am suffering with pain in tailbone while seating and standing. I was hit on my back and i fell down on my tailbone. Should i check for tailbone fracture or continue with calcium medicines?

If you are having and t12 compression fracture then you should be on complete bed rest. You should not move about and give your spine complete rest. The pain you feel in your tailbone is nothing but the radiation of pain from the t12 vertebrae. There is no other or better way to heal a broken vertebrae then to take complete bed rest. Along with calcium and other medications you can use hot water bag to relieve the pain.
