It is not necessary to stay in bed for the first 5 days after a tailbone fracture. After a tailbone fracture, it is necessary to decide whether or not to stay in bed depending on the degree and severity of the tailbone fracture. The coccyx is at the very end of the spine. Under normal circumstances, there are 3 to 4 caudal vertebrae that together form the coccyx, and these vertebrae will gradually fuse around the age of 30 to 40. Trauma to the coccyx is usually seen in direct violent injuries, such as slipping and falling with your buttocks sitting on the ground, which can cause a fracture of the coccyx. null1. If the fracture of the coccyx is relatively minor displacement is not obvious, and most of the local pain is predominant. Care needs to be taken to avoid re-crushing or damaging the tail stock while sitting, without necessarily requiring strict bed rest. When sitting, you can make a cushion with a hole dug in the tailbone and place it on a hard chair. 2. If the tailbone fracture is more obvious, with obvious displacement, accompanied by the surrounding soft tissue damage, and even sometimes damage to the rectum and other important pelvic structures. At this time, the soft tissue damage is more serious, should try to avoid some activities, you can carry out strict bed rest, general bed rest for about four weeks, can make the tailbone fracture healing, so that the pain has been significantly relieved. Tailbone fracture is recommended to actively consult a physician under the guidance of treatment.
