My tail bone hurts when I'm sitting down?

Question

Whenever I'm sitting down, after about 5 minutes, my tailbone starts to hurt.

Also, I'm only 12 years old, so it cant be cancer.

And i'm not obese, I weigh 86 lbs, and I am 4'10.

Answer 1

Have your parents take you to the doctor.  It could be a pilonidal cyst.   Which is just a fluid filled cyst.  Not cancer.  They form in that area in some people.  I had one that started when I was 12.  I went to the doctor, and they took care of it for me.  I'm now in my 30's and I'm fine.

Answer 2

u should tell ur parents if u have not yet. then maybe u should go see ur doctor. ur doctor might know what the problem is.  

Answer 3

you could have just injured your tail bone some how... even if you dont recall doing it, because it may not have hurt at the time. this happened to me, but it went away eventually... i wouldnt worry about it too much.. the human body is pretty amazing and usually takes care of things on its own!
