Tailbone pain
I fell off an embankment 10 days ago and landed on my tailbone. I went to urgent care and confirmed nothing was broken. However, I have been taking flexeril, prednisone taper, and ibu800 around the clock with minimal relief. It hurts the right buttocks, to sit- and sitting in chairs gives a pain of 5-6/10. I am wondering what I can do, and at what point I should get it rechecked. I still have a lot of stiffness in middle back from the fall as well, which is exacerbated when I kick at something.
