Thanks for all those Donna. I will keep them in mind. An excellent list.

"Can't find a comfortable position" is also Rhus Tox. - restlessness from the pain - constant shifting in the hope that the next position will be 'it'!! (I speak from personal experience of sciatica, where Rhus tox was a DREAM!!!)

Thanks Liz, that is an excellent point. I guess I typically think more of Rhus tox when inflammation is a key issue - as opposed to acute bone/nerve injury - but after 2 weeks - I'll bet inflammation in now playing a big role in the described pain.

If her coccyx is displaced or broken and the parts are separated, it should be repositioned. You cannot expect repair without proper alignment.

But you can reposition it if it is displaced!

I was thinking more in terms of Symphytum and Calc Phos may be needed.

Hi Rochelle,

My first thought...has she initially been to a doctor for assessment of damage...could there be a fracture etc?

Higher Hyp may help but consider other Rxs.

I've had cases respond to all sorts of Rxs...eg. Graph, Aesc, Aloe, Berb...but of course it so much depends on the full Sx picture!
There is a multitude of rubrics under the 'back' section of the repertory. Even a simple rubric such as Back; Pain, lumbo-sacral region will offer - AESC, carb-ac, carb-an, carb-s, cimic, coloc, helon, lil-t, ONOS, PULS, sil (Murphy). Sub rubrics further extend to...on coughing, stooping, turning in bed etc.

Look at where the pain may extend to, nature of the pain, //< cold or hot applications, AI broken?, difficulty urinating, any concomittents, etc?

REgards,
TAN.

Doctor says it "may" be cracked but she has had no X ray or anything. She is due to go back on Wednesday - Our marvellous British National Health Service!!!

...pleased to hear it. Additional information that the doctor can diagnose is more fodder for the homoeopath not to mention if realignment or whatever is necesasry
Cat scans or MRI may be more useful to ascertain the full extent of any damage. Disc damage or connective tissue is more readily seen on these.
