Hello doctor. I got coccyx fracture in 2017 march. Taken medicine for one week and taken rest for one month and I got recovered. Now again from past 1 month its paining allot. Taken physiotherapy and used medicine. But still its aching. Spine surgeon suggested to remove my tail bone. But I am not ready for surgery now. So to get relief from pain, doctor suggested some bone injection- depo medrol & amikacin. But I heard that there will be more side effects from depo medrol. It can cause high blood sugar and reduce the body power to fight with infection. So kindly let me know whether I should take above medicine or not. Also if there is any other suggestion also kindly inform me.

Injection can be tried, surgery should be last option.

Injection depomedrol locally will not essentially dissipate in your blood stream and cause the above mentioned side effects. It is safe if given carefully and in precise dosage. You could upload your x ray and we can see if you can be treated with some other means. Thanks.
