It looks to me that you have injury at your tail bone. It can be a fracture. I would recommend you to get x ray of coccyx. If fracture is there then you would need bed res, sit on a ring like seat. Also take sitz bath, I mean sitting in bath tub full of gentle warm water. Take brufen for pain killing.
