Symptoms of caudal fracture

summary

The tailbone is located at the bottom of the spine. Under normal circumstances, three to four small tailbones should be fused into a whole. However, most people may have two to three separate tailbones with joints and intervertebral discs between them. Generally, the length is about 3 to 10 cm. People with too long tailbone are more likely to have tailbone pain. So what are the symptoms of coccygeal cleft? Let's talk about it.

Symptoms of caudal fracture

In the early stage after the fracture of the coccyx, it was not obvious, only in the cases of violent direct resection; But a few days after the injury, it was clearly visible. In addition to direct tenderness, when touching the end of the caudal vertebra, there may be strong simple tenderness and tension pain, which is helpful for the diagnosis, especially in the early stage after injury.

Supine sleep, tailbone compression, leading to aggravation of symptoms, can be changed to lateral sleep. Sitting in a chair or sofa, the tailbone will inevitably be under pressure. You can put an air cushion on the buttocks, or change to sit on a narrow bench, so that the tailbone will fall into the air and avoid pressure. Appropriate more water, eat more vegetables containing cellulose, keep the stool unobstructed, in order to avoid constipation stimulation make symptoms worse.

A few patients still have the same symptoms after a few months and can be treated with block therapy. After local skin disinfection, the effect is still poor, then take surgical methods, resection of the tailbone. Because of the little physiological effect of the tailbone, there is little effect after resection.
