Having Pain In Tail Bone While Pooping. What Could Be The Cause?
I have always had a pain in my tail bone whenever I have to poop, it only occurs when I have to poop but goes away as soon as anything comes out, there s no constipation , and no bleeding , it just hurts like my tailbone has a cramp or something pushing on it, I have played football for 13 years and have fallen on it but not sure if that could be the cause

This is a very common problem to which there is not a great medical solution. By the sound of it your symptoms have been going on for many years and are not too severe. You seem to cope with them well and so I would not seek any specific treatment.
