Broken tailbone? And how to sleep/get comfortable?

So early today I slipped and fell down the stairs on my tailbone. I have been in constant pain all day and can't find a comfy position. (Laying down, sitting, standing up) I have prescription extra strength ibouprofin, took it, it didn't help. I have tried going to sleep I wedged pillows under my back and legs, still hurts. I tried ice and heat all day. I can't find a way to sleep, if anyone has a way please tell me. Also, could my coccyx be broken, or one of my lumbar vertebrae be broken or fractured? I know there is not much a doctor can do for a broken coccyx but should I go anyway, don't want to waste the money?

    The people of the internet are retarded. If you broke an arm you would go to the hospital, why would this be any different? IF you don't go it will get worse.
