Highly recommended to consult orthopedist...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Usually, falling on butt is associated with pain. At your age, there is a high risk to get problems with broken bones. I suggest to consult an orthopedist and to run X-ray of the hip joint to exclude hematoma or broken bones.
Meanwhile, I suggest to :
- use pain killers for the pain
- do not move your leg until you see your doctor.
Hope it was of help!
