Should I Consult A Doctor As I Am Getting Pain After A Fall?

I was snowboarding and I fell a lot on ice. There were several times where I fell on my tailbone and felt a stabbing pain in my lower back. That was a week ago. It s mostly stiff, not an ongoing pain, but I get a sharp pain whenever I sneeze or cough or do certain movements. What could be wrong? Should I see a doctor?
