[|Human|] I,m 29 yrs, almost 6 feet tall, about 75 kg, no previous medical history. I was playing with my nephews and slide down a children s slide which was very steep. I completely let go and landed with a bang at the bottom of the slide, on my tail bone. It s been 2 weeks and it s still paining, specially when i sit and more on harder seats. When i lie down it s almost fine. When will it heal and do I need to go in for some X ray or MRI scan???
[|AI|]  Probably you have a fractured coccyx (tailbone) which can cause this discomfort and pain, this bone takes long time to heal, x-ray can confirm the diagnosis and role out other fractures if any .you can try the following instructions to help you through this : 1- avoid sitting longer period of time .2- try the doughnut pillow which will decrease the pressure when sitting 3- apply ice for 20 minutes 4 times a day for a few days after the injury 4- you can use non-steroidal such as ibuprofen. 5-avoid constipation because it will increase the pain, by increasing fiber diet and water intake .in some refractory cases' coccyx is surgically removed I hope this helps
