Im 27 now, and in 2010 I fell while I was 7 months pregnant. I fell off of 4 steps and landed right on my coccyx bone and lower back. I broke the coccyx bone (which is still broken to this day and causing severe pain that has gotten worse and not better) ive got a few bulging discs in my lower back causing mild spinal stenosis, bilateral foraminal components, mild facet arthrosis, and also bilateral foraminal narrowing. I can feel the pain radiate from my lower back down into my legs (mostly my right leg) and into my butt cheeks. lately its been going into my knees and walking is becoming very difficult. I also am starting to feel the pain in my neck and it seems to be getting worse. I am currently on medication to help ease the pain, and im about to see a pain management specialist to see what i can do to help this. Im curious what will happen at the visits, will they prescribe medicine to help and try and fix this? what will they suggest for treatment? ive already done PT and almost everything to rid this pain and nothing helps. Is what I have considered serious?
