Pain in the ankle and at the lower end of the spine (tailbone) when pressure is applied can have a few different causes, and they are not always related to each other. Ankle pain may come from a past minor injury, ligament strain, overuse, or even improper footwear. Tailbone pain (often felt while sitting or when pressure is applied) can occur due to prolonged sitting on hard surfaces, a fall, poor posture, or local inflammation. To manage these symptoms, try resting the affected areas, avoiding long periods of sitting, and using a soft cushion or a doughnut pillow while sitting to reduce pressure on the tailbone. Gentle stretching and strengthening exercises can help both ankle and back support. Applying a warm compress may relieve discomfort, and wearing supportive footwear can reduce ankle strain. If the pain is persistent, worsening, or associated with swelling, numbness, or difficulty walking or sitting, it is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment, which may include physiotherapy or further tests.

After hitting your knee on the floor, it is common to have pain, mild swelling, and discomfort for several days or even a few weeks, especially if there is a bruise or strain around the joint. Since Diclofenac has given you some relief, the injury is likely improving, but healing can sometimes be slow because the knee is a weight-bearing joint. Along with medicines, proper rest is very important. Try to avoid too much walking, climbing stairs, squatting, or putting pressure on the knee for a few days. Applying an ice pack for 15-20 minutes, 3-4 times a day, can help reduce pain and swelling. Keeping the leg slightly elevated while resting may also help. You should avoid taking Diclofenac continuously for a long time unless advised by your doctor, because prolonged use can affect the stomach, kidneys, or blood pressure. For faster recovery, some people benefit from supplements such as collagen, glucosamine, chondroitin, calcium, vitamin D, or protein-rich foods, as these may support joint and tissue healing. Gentle stretching and physiotherapy exercises can also help once the pain starts to reduce. However, if the swelling increases, the knee becomes unstable, you are unable to walk properly, or the pain continues beyond 2-3 weeks, you should consult an orthopaedic doctor to rule out ligament, cartilage, or bone injury.
