Suggest Treatment For Extreme Soreness In The Buttock

I fell this afternoon while ice skating, on my buttocks on the right side. It's extremely sore, and I can't put weight on it. I can't get comfortable in bed. I'm in a fair amount of pain.
I've applied ice on and off all evening, and taken ibuprofin, but seemingly not enough.
I'd appreciate any advice you may have as to how I can treat this. I am inclined to take 3 more ibuprofin, on top of two.
do you think I'll need an xray? We are having a snow storm in Boston and travelling tomorrow will be treacherous.
thank you.
