You may have cracked your tail bone. You should certainly get an x-ray to be sure. It could only be badly bruised. In either case the doctor can tell you what to do to be more comfortable.

first of all OUCH!! i broke my tailbone before and it hurts so bad. i dont recommend getting it xrayed just because even if it is broken there isnt anything you can do. it would just be a waste of money. just make sure to ice it and heat. it is definately going to be hard to sit. so make sure you take some kind of pain medication. it takes a long time for a tailbone to heal. also if you use a massager(buy one from a store) and use it on your tailbone(It will hurt really bad at first) but it will eventually make it feel better and you will be able to sit better too. also if you have to sit(i know it might look stupid but...) sit on a pillow. it will cushin it and hopefully wont be so much pain. fell better.
