I got hurt to the lowest point of spinal, just above the anus. It is paining. That was mild so I thought will be cured by itself but this mild pain persists for one month. What to do?

Hi, thank you for the question. There are some simple things that you can do to try and help. First of all, try to avoid sitting on hard surfaces for long periods of time - some women will even try sitting on an inflatable ring to avoid any direct pressure on the end of the tail bone. A heating pad or a warm soak in the tub can provide some relief. Recommended amounts of pain relievers can give short periods of relief. A healthy exercise routine or gentle stretching can help sore pelvic muscles. And, some people find relief from a support belt which helps lessen the weight directly on the pelvic bones and muscles. Always make sure you tell your doctor about any pain or unusual symptoms you are having so the two of you can come up with the best solution. You can also try some physiotherapy exercises to relieve the pain. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
