Coccyx pain?

[BellaOfTheBalls]

I fell down the stairs on Tuesday night. Landed very firmly and solidly on my tailbone. Initially wasn't too bad but now sitting down/standing up is really painful; like being stuck with something very sharp.

I'm reluctant to bother a doctor, particularly this week of all weeks. Anything I can do/take?

Not sure but I did exactly the same thing about 10 years ago. I too ignored it but I still suffer with agonising pain at times so wish I had gone to see someone about it.

I can remember the pain vividly. Paracetamol doesn't seem strong enough. Maybe paracetamol and codeine mix tablet? MIL swears by them for all her aches and pains.
