tailbone
I have NO idea why, but my tailbone (or the hard flat bone thing right above my butt) has been hurting reallly bad lately. It especially hurts when i sit down and then REALLY bad when I stand up. I haven't don't anything to injure it lately like any type of exercises and I haven't fallen on it. I don't know what to do because it seems like sitting makes it hurt worse but I have to sit all the time at school. The whole area and one specific spot in the middle just feels VERY sore! What should i do??

I had the same exact problem. When you probably stood up, or turned around, it probably pulled a muscle or something else. Did it suddenly start hurting? then yes.
what to do:
-take pain killers.
-sit, or lie, on one of those massaging things. U know,the ones for cars or a massaging chair.
-if you dont have that, take a ice pack, put it on your back, for 30 min. and then hot one. Do it freequently
-stand up slowly, and down, and do a little excersise like that daily.
it will probably heel in like 5 days. hope u feel better

i think going to the doctor is the best bet. you could have fractured/broken something. i really doubt that you have scoliosis (sp) or something, but it's better to get checked for that type of thing. it could just be that you're growing, but only a doctor can give you a definite answer.

First of all, I'm very sorry to hear this.
But as for advice, my friend once broke his tailbone skateboarding and he said it hurt very bad when he moved and it was especially bad when he sat, so you might have broken it. As for how, maybe while you were sleeping you moved the wrong way or something, I have no clue.
The only thing i can really say is that if the pain is that bad, to go to the doctors. But in the meantime, try to just lay down on your stomach when you can, my friend said that took a little of the pain away.
Hope I helped a bit.
