A member asked:
My mother is 76 and has a dislocated coccyx, oral med has only led to dependency, pt did not help. do we have other options? history of sepsis and c-diff
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Often times in medicine, although we have many options, you also have to look at the facts. In this case, without having sepsis or c-diff a coccygeal fracture is tough to deal with. In this case, with her age, and other medical issues, any surgical treatment would be too risky.
