My daughter was supposed to be having tea with Charles and Camilla this afternoon, but instead she’s at home nursing a very badly bruised bottom after a stool she was sitting on collapsed. ?
She had an x-ray yesterday and this has confirmed that her coccyx is shattered. (She said the hospital staff were exceptionally good.) She’s been prescribed Oramorph for the (excruciating) pain, but I wondered if any of you grans might have some advice? She’s yet to buy a coccyx cushion so any recommendations for a good one would be welcomed, but also advice on further pain management.
Should she use ice packs? Topical ointment? Sit? Stand? If you’ve dealt with this what has helped?
She’s generally very fit and active, but this has knocked her for six. And during half-term too, when she had a full week of activities planned with her family. ?
