Have you consulted a doctor yet? Maybe get a donut pillow thing to sit on. Along with painkillers and hot showers that should help. I hope you feel better. I’ve been googling and it looks like depending on the severity pain can last weeks to months and complications can last for years. Get thee to a doctor.
@asmonet.. yes i went to the hospital when it happened to make sure it was not broke. they said it was badly bruised. they did give me a donut ring and it sure does help to sit. and they gave me pain meds. they said it might take several months to help and i was hoping they were just telling me that so that i am aware it is going to take some time to heal. but not that long. i guess it is a waiting game and being careful at what i am doing. thank you for taking the time to look it up for me. I like to come here and see what everyone has to say too.
Do it, JP. You know you wanna… Don’t you wanna be cool like the rest of us?
No prob, Rossi. :)
I honestly hope it doesn’t take long for you, I have a vague memory of one of my friends bruising theirs. I’ll try to ask her about it in the morning.
I don’t know about bruised but when I fell and broke my tailbone it took about 3 months of lugging that donut pillow around before I felt better. I would say if your in a lot of pain go see a doctor or chiropractor. Trust me it maybe more than a bruise.
In total it took about 6 months before I was completely healed up. By then I had developed scoliosis from the fracture, and would find this out for another 2 years.
It was probably about a week after I fell that I noticed a puffy lump that kept growing. Then a week after that it ruptured. My moms a nurse thankfully and for two weeks she had to pack gauze into it. It slowly closed up. I felt like I was wearing a tampon. The first week after it happened I didnt go to the doc and commuted 90 minutes to and from work. That was misery. After it closed up I could manage the ride and weaned off the vicodin. It still hurt for a couple months after the abscess healed but I had manageable nagging pain for two more months or so. One month hell. Two months noticeable pain.
@buster.. oh i know about the packing there, my hubby had to have it done too. no fun that is for sure!! thank you for your answer (without the picture.) :)
@bythebay…. thank you so much. bless your heart!!! have a very happy and healthy new year too. this has been like this my whole life. I sure hope things do change this year.again thank you!! :)
Yeah, we should all refrain from popularity type questions.
But rossi_bear should win some kind of prize for asking a question
that elicited Buster posting a picture of his “ruptured ass”.
That’s some kind of amazing, right?
