I went ice skating?

Question

I went skating for the first time!

I only fell once

But I hurt my butt really badly

It's even hard to sit up or walk!

I have a basketball game tomorrow (YIKES)

What should I do?

Answer 1

Well skating works those muscles u might b sore for a couple of days.

Answer 2

Im a figure skater and falling on my butt realllllly hurts. What happens is you usually are landing on your tailbone and that can stay sore or bruised for a while. I have bruised it several times and one time the pain lasted for about a year. All I can say it ice it so it doesnt hurt as bad, and try and take it easy for a little bit.

Answer 3

You may have injured your tailbone. I would suggest taking ibuprofen, using ice, and resting. If it gets too painful you may have to not play basketball. Good luck!

Answer 4

Did you fall and possibly hit your tailbone?  It happens a lot in skating and takes quite awhile to feel better.  The only way I've ever dealt with it is to just be careful to try not to sit so it hurts.  You could try icing it, but I'm not sure if that will really help.  

Or did you pull some muscles?  The best way to deal with those is putting some heat on them....a nice hot shower feels better.....and to stretch out.

Good luck!
