Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having dislocation of coccux-sacral joint or even fracture of coccyx bone which is common after this type of injury.
go for x-ray coccyx-sacral region to rule out fracture or dislocation.
You can go for ice packing 10 minutes at a time 2-3 times a day.
Ok and take care.
