Can you walk after a fracture of the caudal vertebrae?

  Walking is not recommended after a fracture of the caudal vertebrae to avoid aggravation of the condition.  The caudal vertebra is a degenerated bone located at the most distal end of the human spine, and its fracture is mostly caused by trauma, such as inadvertent slipping and falling, resulting in landing on the bottom of the hip. If there is no discomfort other than local pain, the patient usually does not need too much treatment, but only needs to pay attention to lateral rest and can recover on its own. However, in the early stage of the fracture, walking on the ground when the situation is not stable may easily affect the venous return of the caudal vertebrae, resulting in increased local swelling and pain, and it is recommended to rest for two weeks, and the symptoms will gradually be relieved. If the pain is more obvious, you can take oral or topical medications to activate blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, swelling and analgesia under the guidance of a doctor to improve the symptoms, and you can also cooperate with appropriate physical therapy or Chinese acupuncture treatment to speed up the recovery of the condition.  Patients are advised to rest in bed as much as possible within a week after the caudal vertebra fracture, mainly lying on the side, to facilitate the recovery of the condition.
