Ouch: Sometimes other pelvic bones as well. Lot of trauma and bruising likely. Watch the mobility to avoid DVT from laying around. Several weeks of discomfort.

Time: You are going to have some pain for a while. Take it easy. Have physical therapy see you and work with you to keep you up and moving. Take pain meds as neede. Along with stool softners.
