Fell on the stairs

I'm a 25 year old MBA student. On May 15, 2022 I fell one stair and landed directly on my coccyx resulting in multiple fracture. Visited an orthopedic but he suggested only coccyx pillow. I had a lot of pain but nothing seemed to improve even after 3 months. I feared by reading comments on YouTube comments that this injury never heals, decades together.

But during the 6th month I found out tailbone specialist Dr. Syeda Mubashira (see Doctors and specialists in India). From losing hope that the injury will never heal, to completely heal within 3 months of starting treatment, the doctor has given wonders to my life.

Follow everything the doctor says and you will be on your road to recovery from day 1 of treatment.

Swimming helped me very much. The amount of money I paid did not matter because the trauma of 7 months of excruciating pain was depressing. Happy healing!

Note from Jon Miles:

I emailed more than a year after this story was posted, to ask for an update, as the long-term outcome of treatment is of great interest. In this case I did not get a reply.
