I get severe low back pain (near coccyx bone) during travel. I had a previous h/o fall twice and I injured my lower hip. After having consulted the doc, I was told to have a micro fracture of coccyx which will settle by itself in time. Still, I have problems if I sit for more than an hour. Please suggest!

1. Anyone will have problems for sitting more than half an hour:) and after a fracture in d spine, its must. So avoid prolonged sitting and specially putting pressure/stress on the particular portion. So always sit wid your back straight and supported wid hands frequently or placing pillow on your back. 2. Walk in between wenever you have to sit for hours. 3. Use a lumbo secral belt. 4. Do spinal flexibility exercises for a short period of time in d morning after bed. Avoid forward bending across30 degree.
