General & Family Physician,  's  Response
You might have injured your coccyx. That is that little bone that juts out where once long time back our ancestors had tails. You can sleep face down or on your side. Try a combination of ice packs on the affected area. Also you can apply diclofenac based gel on the bruised area. You can also sit on those donut shaped cushions that help take the load off that bone while sitting.

Thank you for your query
