Pain In Left Leg, Constant Pain In Tail Bone. What Could Be This?
I am a 19 year old that is about 116 pounds and 4'10". For the past couple of months, I've been experiencing pain shooting down my left leg, as if it is along my sciatic nerve. the pain usually spans down to my knee, and the area just to the left of my tailbone is in constant pain. When I bend my knee so my leg comes straight up toward me, something pops inside of my hip area. it is not something that can be felt externally, so it may be happening further within.

Hello,
Welcome at HCM.
It looks from your details that you are having piriformis syndrome.In this syndrome a muscles puts pressure over the sciatic nerve & give rise to sciatic pain like symptoms in lower limb. You should ask for some exercises from your doctor for relief.
Hope this will be helpful.
With best wishes.
