Pain in tailbone
My sister broke her leg in 2014 and was in bedrest for a month. Once she started walking again, she started experiencing a very harsh pain in her tailbone when she sat in one position for too long, while getting up. This was a very rare happening and we thought it would go away with time but recently. The became worse when she started exercising. She has stopped now but everytime she gets up, it hurts very badly while getting up and she has to get up slowly and at a certain angle to avoid pain.

She probably had tail bone injury during the accident. The condition is known as Coccygodynia. She will require to do an Xray Sacrococcygeal spine (AP and lateral). She has to start using a ring cushion (air cushion which is hollow in the centre). It is available in the medical stores. She has to use it for sitting wherevershe sits
