Coccyx pain
Recently i have been suffering from huge back pain in lower portion. Upon consultation to my physician he informed me that it is due to coccyx pain..
Now i have taken consultation with a orthopaedic in AMRI hospital in kolkata, and he suggested me that this problem arises due to bad sitting posture and advised to take Pregabid NT 75 medicine for 6 weeks and asked me for next consultation.
As i have recently gone through lap appendix surgery hence he prohibited me for any kind of excercise.
Now, i want to know is the medicine he gave is right?? Also i have using heat bag, ice pack and coccyx cushion for daily use.
What other precautions should i have to take??
I'm feeling little tensed and should this problem rises again in near future??

If it's coccydynia, what has been suggested is right.. if pain doesn't subside by 2 weeks, a re evaluation is needed..
