Could be: It could be a bad bruise or even a fracture of the coccyx. One other thing to look out for is a compression fracture.

Pain in the bum: Yes it most certainly could be. There is not much to do for it other than analgesia. Could get a small inflatable ring to sit on to make it more comfortable to sit. Some people need stool softeners to help also. Worth it to see you doctor to make sure there is nothing else going on if you are really sore.
