You need an x-ray. You may have broken or badly sprained a ligament or tendon. You might have also bruised your tailbone which is very painful & take 2mos.+ to heal (happened to my sister recently.)
Put ice on it...if ice doesn't feel good try heat. You may have already waited too long for ice to work.
Take Aleve or Advil. It will reduce the swelling, inflammation & pain.
Good luck
You could have broken a bone. You need to see a doctor. In fact, I would recommend going to the emergency room.
You either have a muscle strain or you have a herniated disc or 2. Go to the ER and they will probably give you a pain cocktail consisting of morphin and demeral .........., a prescription for pain killers.
You might also try a chiropractor. It is possible you knocked things out of whack and he/she might be able to realign them. If not, they will tell you whether you need a doctor, or ice/heat/ etc...and for a lot less money than an emergency room!
Sounds like it wouldn't hurt to go to a good chiropractor; while a visit to a medical doctor probably wouldn't hurt either.
