OUCH!: That can be VERY painful and there are nerves around that area which supply lower extremities! Do not be "concerned" but you should see your Primary Care Provider and obtain an xray just to know if there is a fracture so that you can know how long pain will last! Sitz baths (hot water) might give you temporary relief (plus Ibuprofen or Tylenol)! Hope this helps Dr Z
