Caudal vertebral fracture symptoms

Symptoms of coccygeal fracture mainly include pain, swelling, tenderness, subcutaneous congestion, limited mobility, etc. 1. Pain is the most prominent symptom of coccygeal fracture. After fracture, severe pain will occur at the coccygeal vertebra, especially when sitting and standing., the pain will increase significantly, and may even affect normal sitting posture and walking. This pain may last longer and may be exacerbated by movement, pressure, or impact. 2. Swelling The soft tissue surrounding the fracture usually swells due to localized inflammation and exudation of tissue fluid from the injury. Swelling may make the caudal region appear more prominent than normal. 3. tenderness at the site of the fracture of the coccyx. This tenderness is usually localized and helps to determine the approximate location of the fracture. 4. subcutaneous congestion due to bleeding from the surrounding blood vessels caused by the fracture may appear under the skin of the coccyx, showing a purple or purple color. Over time, congestion may gradually absorb and dissipate. 5. Limitations of movement Due to pain, the patient's caudal spine movement may be restricted, such as bending, turning, sitting and standing may become difficult or impossible to complete. Severe caudal fractures may also affect the movement of the lower limbs. In addition, if the caudal spine fracture is accompanied by nerve damage, there may be symptoms such as numbness in the perineal area and abnormal defecation. once coccyx fracture is suspected, the patient should seek medical attention promptly for detailed examination and diagnosis so that appropriate treatment can be taken.
