Have any of you fractured your coccyx?
I fell out of bed last week, landing on my back. The bedside table was a little further away than usual and I misjudged the distance when I went to turn off my alarm. As my husband said... if you aren't safe in your own bed where are you safe? My disease seems to manifest itself by my body not responding defensively when I fall.
Haven't had it xrayed yet but I felt the usual crunch as I landed. Hurts to even sneeze and forget picking up something from the floor. Walking with my grandson tugging on my arm felt like my spine was being yanked down to the sidewalk. My biggest fear is falling again anytime soon as I can't imagine how much THAT would hurt! Ouch!
