Coccyx Fracture: An abrupt vertical deceleration injury to the butt can result in a coccyx fracture that would not show up on X-ray unless the bone fragments displace and separate. The bruising on your butt is a sign of a missed fracture and pain persisting for weeks. Use a soft donut shaped cushion to sit on-you can make one with stocking stuffers. Try Epsom salt soaks and avoid constipation opiates!
