What if I fall on my tailbone but I can walk?

If you fall to the coccyx but can walk, it does not mean that the coccyx is normal and free from injury, it is still recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner to clarify whether there is injury to the coccyx and to receive the appropriate treatment. Generally speaking, the treatment measures include rest, cold compresses, hot compresses, medication, surgery, etc. Even if you fall to the coccyx and can walk, bone contusion or even fracture may still occur. Even if you are able to walk after a fall to the tailbone, bone contusion or even fracture may occur, because the tailbone is not a load-bearing bone, so even if there is an injury, it does not affect walking and can carry out most of the activities, so it is recommended that you seek medical treatment as soon as possible to rule out fracture. After falling to the tailbone, do not squeeze the injured part, it is best to rest in bed first, reduce activities, within 72 hours after the fall, you can apply cold compresses to the local area to promote swelling and pain relief, but also with blood circulation and blood stasis medication, such as panax ginseng tablets. It can also be used with medicines to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, such as Panax ginseng injury tablets. 72 hours after the injury can be changed to hot compresses to help improve the symptoms. If symptoms such as severe pain remain after the above conservative treatment, a fracture may have occurred and surgery may be required. The above medications need to be used under a doctor’s supervision. If you experience severe pain after falling on your tailbone, it is recommended that you seek medical attention and choose the appropriate treatment for your specific situation.
