I can't sit down at all. I'm in excruciating pain as I'm writing this. Basically, here's what happened. I live in VA and we've had a drought because it's rained maybe 3 times all summer. Thanks to TS Fay, we started getting rain yesterday. I went to Walmart & slipped in the parking lot on my way in. I didn't fall-- I just lost my footing. Then on the way out, I slipped again in a different spot & caught myself, but basically every part of my body hurt. My knees, ankles, back, etc. My husband gave me a massage and I felt fine today. Tonight, I was laying down and bent my legs a certain way and I got this excruciating pain in my (this is so embarrassing), upper butt crack region. I don't know if it's related to the Walmart incident at all or what's going on. Could it be a pulled muscle? I can't stand up straight or bend over much. I'm just kind of hunched. I'm a senior in college and I really hate missing class. I don't feel like waiting all night in a germy ER when my own bed would be more comfortable. I thought about going to the doctor's office in the morning. Could they tell then? Do you think it could just be a pulled muscle? How would I have broken my tailbone from just bending my legs a certain way? What should I take for the pain? I have some left over percocet from December 2007. I also have ibuprophen & extra strength Tylenol.

  1. I'm pretty sure you need to slam down on the tailbone to break it....slam HARD.  Then, from what I understand, it hurts to sit and you get a donut butt pillow.

    You might have pulled a muscle or pinched a nerve, but without an impact I doubt it could be that serious.  Nothing some painkillers, heat/cold, and a chiropractor couldn't fix in a few days.
