Treatment for pain in tail bone

Cures for pain in tail bone 

An ache due to a fall can sometimes last up to months, maybe even years, if not taken care of in a timely manner. If your fall is recent, you can follow certain limitations for a while to make sure the pain caused due to the injury goes away completely. For at least two weeks after your fall: do not run or indulge in heavy, strenuous exercise; do not lift any weight more than five pounds with your hands alone; do not do any heavy housework for at least two weeks; do not stand continuously for more than 20 minutes.


Even if your pain goes away before the two weeks are over, follow these rules and you will have a healthy back for life. Apart from this, you can massage your back with garlic oil. If you cannot find it in the market, make it at home.


Heat 15 tablespoons of olive oil till it starts smoking. Remove from the fire and throw in 20 cloves of sliced garlic. The oil will smoke furiously, sending out strong odours. Cool, strain and store this oil. You can also use mustard oil or olive oil for a massage. Lie flat on your back for 10 minutes at a time, several times during the day. If the pain is bad, you can also wrap an elastic belt around your waist to arrest it.
