It's been like this for 3days.. IVE HAD FOUR BATHS! :cry: ... plus, this Deep-Heat stuff doesn't work. .cuz i cant spray it exactly on the pain .. cuz its my tailbone,, but like.. inside if that makes ANY SENSE so i'd have to spray it at the top of my arse LMAO

Have you been to the doc's?

[xFadingObsessionx]

I rang my mummy up in pain (I still call her and make her come round when i'm in pain XD) and she told me that the docs wont do anything.. if its bruised i just gotta wait til it heals :(

[GiantMidget]

Oh right, you're just gonna have to take it easy darling innit! :love:

[xFadingObsessionx]

How did you manage that? Kills like a bitch i hurt mine at kickboxing couple of weeks ago. Oh and i wouldn't bother with the deep heat its only really works well for muscle pain hun you need some stong pain killers.

Ouch! been there, feel for u, also has a friend that done the same, thing is its was abou 4 years ago n she still has problems,my mate was given a round pillow with a hole in it to sit on so she could still sit down at work so if its really bad would try the doc's though probably cant help much but might sort u out with good pain killers especially if its affecting your sleep?

Get [or get someone else to get for you] a tube of arnica ointment and rub it in every few hours - it should speed up the breakdown of the bruising and help with the pain.
Also try taking anti-inflamatories [aspirin, ibruprofen, etc] for the pain.

If you can go for a nice long gentle walk that will also help the bruising resolve and help with the pain a bit [I am talking at least a mile here]
