fell last week right back onto my lower back on a tiled wet floor. pain is very bad but i do not want to sit in A/E for 6 hrs waiting on xray only to be told its muscular pain.
surely if there was anything broke down there or fractured i would not be able to walk ?
ive ibrophen cream but its useless, what else could help the healing ?
People have walked on broken limbs before discovering they were doing so. You've made the error of timing your fall for Saturday, otherwise you could go see your GP in the morning. Why not take it easy for the weekend and if still worried check it out with your GP on Monday ? It's probably bruising/strain but no harm in being certain. Or invest in a 6 hours wait, take a book.
dont understand.. no bruising, none. with the pain of it i was expecting to look 2 days later and bruising from my mid back/ ribs to my knees but nothing.
If it is your coccyx, there is nothing you can do but take painkillers. As my GP said, there is more danger from an X-ray than a broken coccyx and there is nothing they can do if it is broken.
It will take its own time.
