A member asked:
I fell down stairs 3 years ago, broke my coccyx twice in 8 days. never got looked at. 1 side of glutes won't flex, feel pressure in coccyx?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info: The coccyx is about 4 vertebrae at the end of the spinal cord. When you fell you may have fractured them or caused a dislocation. You need to see your family physician who may order an x-ray along with an orthopedic examination to help decide what is going on.
