Tailbone injury, sports
I fell on my tailbone at my flag football game yesterday. I've been icing it today, which helps. It only hurts when I'm in sitting position when I lean back at a certain point or if I apply direct pressure. It didn't hurt with anything I did at practice, I could practice normally. I'm a line backer, Is it okay if I still play?
