I Am 12 Years Old Female And I Am Getting Acute Pain In My Tailbone

(I am female.) My tailbone really hurts when I sit down and stand up. It is extremely painful and I am only twelve years old. I think whatever it is, it happened when I was playing soccer a couple of weeks ago when I dove for the ball and landed hard on my behind. I m in alot of pain, what do you think happened?

As you said that you had injury at sacrum(tailbone), it is the cause of persistant pain at your tailbone.
Get x say done for that part and consult a orthopedic surgeon for further management.
I hope i have answered your query.
