Does Coccyx Injury Cause Internal Bleeding?

I fell 5 days ago and injured my coccyx. I have no insurance, so I haven't gotten it checked out. My question is, I have Factor V Leiden and was wondering if this injury would cause internal bleeding. The bruising doesn't seem too severe, but it is still quite painful. I have been taking ibuprofen for the pain and trying to stay off it as much as possible. If coccyx injury is known for internal bleeding, would that put me at a risk of blood clots? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
