Dissipating Bruise On Right Buttock At The Belt-line After Fall From Stairs

About a week ago I fell down a flight of stairs and I have a bruise on right buttock right at the belt line in the back. The bruise is dissipating. I am now experiencing sharp shooting pain in that area. The pain happens when I am sitting in a chair or when I move in the wrong direction. should I seek medical help. At the time of the accident I didn't think I broke anything, but now I am not so sure.
Thank you for any advice you can give me.

I would recommend you to get ultrasound and X ray of that region to make sure that there is no hematoma collection or any localized infection. Till that time you should take tablet Brufen and avoid sitting on hard surface. You can use soft mattress for sleeping. When you are taking bath , sit for some time in warm water so that hit reaches to gluteal region. It will give you pain relief.
