I fell off a horse yesterday and landed on my tailbone. I either bruised it bad or broke it. I am a nurse and I know that there is nothing you can really do for it except ice and rest, which I gave been doing. But today my lower abdomen has been sore. Like I did a bunch of abdominal crunches, but did not. I don t know if it s from the jolt of everything, or the fact that I am using these muscles to help me move from a sitting and lying position?
Hello again, If there is pain then you need clinical examination and further investigation. Coccyx bone can be better seen on CT scan. I will advise you MRI spine and sacrum.CT scan or EMG-NCV nerve conduction study may be required after clinical examination.X-ray may not show details. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
