I fell over three days ago. I hit my bottom and my elbow. There is a bruise on my right butt cheek. There has been improvement - the sore muscles are less sore. I can walk regularly, I can sit almost comfortably. I can swivel my hips, and move normally, only general soreness. My stomach muscles were sore but are getting better.
The problem is that when I bend over to touch the floor, there is a radiating pain in my pelvis. I isolated it further while doing some light stretching. If I tuck my right leg behind me, extend my left, and reach to touch my left toes, I'm fine. If I do the opposite, there is that radiating pain again.
I will be going to the doctor, but does anyone have a thought as to what might be going on?

sounds like a pulled muscle or just a nasty internal bruise
nerve damage usually involves tingling,numbness,and pain that radiates down or up an extremity.
if you had broken something-you'd have constant severe pain and swelling in the area where the bone was broken.
take ibuprofen to help with the pain. 200-400mg every 6 hours but no more than 1200mg in 24 hours.
NO MORE stretching or "testing" your body out to see what it can do w/out it hurting. your body is trying to heal and you could injure it further.

Radiating pain down your leg usually means that a nerve in the L4 or L5 section of your spine is pinched. This could be muscular or you could have damaged a disc which is now putting pressure on the nerve.

Head trauma can purpose white spots or scars on MRIs. Doesn't imply you could have MS. But the revolutionary nature of your situation warrants a further opinion. Time to uncover a further neurologist for a moment opinion. Good good fortune

It is not broken or I am telling you, it would hurt 24/7. It is probably just badly bruised and the stretching is irritating.

Get it seen soonest , and get a referral to a physiotherapist, who can check it out better than your Dr and tell you what it is and get it fixed before it becomes ingrained/chronic. If necessary pay to see a physio privately.

I would go to a doctor as soon as possible.
Always think of the worst case scenario when it comes to your health.

your just bruised up... allow your body to heal and don't stress any area that is having problem... just go to the doctors and do a blood test.
