My father stepped on moss and fell down. It didn't hurt much then. After a while, the top of the buttock is very painful. He can't even go upstairs, and it's very painful to sit down. He can't bend over. Fracture of coccyx is generally treated conservatively without surgery, but there are some examples. Mainly according to the damage.

The most disturbing thing is that you will feel pain and discomfort at the coccyx when sitting, especially when the coccyx is stressed. The longer you sit, the more you will feel pain. Some people feel uncomfortable even if they lie flat. At this time, lying on the side or left will feel more comfortable, because this posture can reduce the pressure on the coccyx. Others feel the most pain when they stand up from a sitting position. This is because as soon as they sit down, their coccyx dislocates or moves abnormally. The coccyx hurts so much that it hurts even when you walk. ?

Some patients will complain that sitting on soft cushions is more uncomfortable than sitting directly on hard chairs. This is usually because the joint between sacrum and coccyx is unstable. When sitting, the weight of the body is mainly borne by the ischial tubercle. When sitting on a soft chair cushion, the ischium sinks into the chair cushion, which makes the coccyx bear the pressure of the body and cause pain. Coccygeal pain is usually not related to foot pain. If the form of foot pain is like sciatica and extends below the knee, it may be caused by lumbar radiculopathy, not coccygeal disease. ?

The causes of coccyx pain include direct trauma to the coccyx or its joint ligament, which may be that the coccyx falls to the ground when slipping, or falls from a height, or the coccyx is kicked or hit by a foreign body. Due to joint sprain or coccyx fracture between sacrum and coccyx, local inflammation and pain of coccyx are caused. Over time, after the wound is healed, there will be no more pain, but if it is not healed well or can't heal, there will be persistent pain. ?

Conservative treatment of coccygeal pain may take weeks or even months. If long-term conservative treatment does not improve and the coccygeal joint is obviously unstable or loose, the coccyx can be surgically removed, and it will take about four to eight months for the symptoms to improve after operation. Therefore, whether it is conservative therapy or surgery, the most important thing to cure coccygeal pain is patience. As long as we find out the reason and treat it, we won't be bothered by having a chair to sit on.
