I've been dealing with this really annoying pain in my tailbone for the last three months. It hurts whenever I sit down, but it's weird because if I press on the spot, there's no pain. I've tried using ointments like Volini, but they haven't done much. The intensity seems to change every day. What could be going on?

Daflon (Diosmin) is a flavonoid used to treat varicose veins, hemorrhoids, and other vascular disorders. The recommended dosage may vary depending on the specific condition, severity, and individual patient needs.

According to the manufacturer's guidelines and medical literature, the typical recommended dosage for Daflon in the treatment of varicose veins is:

500 mg twice daily (BID) or

1000 mg once daily (OD)

Both dosing regimens have been shown to be effective in improving symptoms and reducing inflammation in patients with varicose veins.

I fractured my ankle with both linear and oblique fractures and a mild dislocation will I need surgery or can plaster treatment fix this? I'm worried about the best way to heal properly

Whether you need surgery or a plaster cast depends on the severity of your ankle fracture and the extent of the dislocation. A mild dislocation might be treated with a cast or boot, while a more severe fracture and dislocation could require surgery to realign the bones and ligaments. Consulting with an orthopedic surgeon is crucial to determine the best treatment plan for your specific injury
