I fell three times on ice during winter two years ago. X-Rays showed it was broken
but gave me an arthritis pill. I am still in severe pain and have great difficulty getting out of chairs and in and out of cars. Is there a real answer to this pain? I have tried exercise, ice and heat packs have no effect.
I have this coccyx pain since 10 days. I am performing some exercises suggested by the doctor. Nothing is abnormal in the X-ray. I think I have developed this pain due to biking but never realized. A month ago I did fall on my back in the bathroom. But this pain started severely after many days and this pain is severe now. Should I visit some orthopedic surgeon?
