How To Treat Severe Pain In Coccyx Caused After Injury?

I lost my balance and fell backwards into the bathtub/shower - smashed my entire back on the tiles as well as my tailbone on the soap dish. The shower bar then came down on top of me. Extreme pain - this happened last Friday. Taking anti inflammatory pills - worried about any internal issues as I am so sore?

Go for x-ray lumbo-sacral spines for having fracture of coccyx.
Consult orthopedic surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
