I fell down my brother's stairs at his house and I landed on my tail bone. I went to the er and they took x-rays and found out that it wasn't broken, just bruised really bad and they said that it should stop hurting in a week. Well, it has been over a week and it is still hurting just as bad as it was when I first injured it. I don't want to go to the er again because I already have to pay for the first bill and I dont' want another one. What type of doctor do I need to make an appointment with so I can have them look at it to see why it hurts so bad. Thanks!
I haven't had insurance for that long so I don't have a normal doctor that I go to. That is why I am wondering where I need to start.
I know that it should be covered by the homeowners insurance, but I don't think that the owner has insurance on the property, I talked to my brother and he told me that he doesn't want to get kicked out of his house, so he is not going to ask his landlord to pay for the bills.

So, that doesn't help me figure out what type of doctor I need to go to. Do I just go to a General Practice doctor and they can tell me where to go or what? I don't want to have to go to the ER again just to speak with a doctor. Thanks for all of your help in advance.

I really think you need to find out if the landlord has homeowners. Specialists are expensive and will tell you to get expensive tests like MRIs, etc. and order expensive meds or even suggest surgery. This could go into the thousands of dollars.
An orthopedic dr. is probably the next stop, unless the insurance company demands you start with a GP.

I'm an accident investigator. Insurance is in place to pay bills. The homeowner is responsible if there is negligence. Without knowing what happened I have no way of knowing if homeowners insurance - or the homeowner - is responsible.
It is not your brother's choice whether or not to report the accident. It is YOUR choice. If you do nothing and there are a lot of medical bills you are responsible to pay them. You cannot wait a lengthy period of time and THEN notify the landlord.
I fell backwards down steps and it took almost two months before it quit hurting. I didn't go to the drs.
The more you walk the longer it will take to get better. Rest as much as you possibly can and soak in warm to hot baths with a good theraputic bath oil.
