Fell Down, Got Bruise On Butt Cheek, Having Rectal Pain And Difficulty To Sit. Should I Be Concerned?

Thanks for posting your query.
The large grapefruit size bruise is likely to be due to a hematoma formation in the area.
Since the bony injuries have been ruled out, a take a mild pain killer for relief. Avoid sitting for long hours. Do a cold compress on the area of injury.
The pain and swelling might take over a week to subside. In case there is an acute pain and a sudden increase in swelling then consult your physician for a direct examination to rule out any infection in the area.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.

Thanks for writing again.
If the pain is very severe then you can ask for an MRI scan to find out the extent of injury you have suffered. Most of the times such soft tissue injuries are painful and need strong prescription analgesics for pain relief. Oral muscle relaxants may be helpful in case there is some muscle spasm.
Hope my answer is helpful.
