Hi and welcome to HCM.
this was obviously a significant hit but usually there is just muscle contusion and hematoma often develop which may persist for up to 2 weeks. You should apply cold compresses,heparin gel and sit on soft surfaces.If there will be worsening,you should do XRAYS to rule out sacrum fracture. Wish you good health. Regards
