Suggest Cause For Pain In Tailbone
I have one leg shorter than the other but it's never affected me before. I play soccer and recently my tailbone started hurting I first thought it was my back so I did various hip and hamstring stretches. The pain only comes when I run in soccer and change directions, but it does not hurt when I walk. Do you think this is a result of my legs or something else?
