I'm so sorry to hear about your fall. I've fallen off ladders but not on my butt bone. However I would switch that ice to heat to stop and spasms. The motrin in knocking down the swelling but be careful because motrin does effect the kidneys. With a history of stones you don't need that. Take as little as possible or only as needed.
If you don't have any leg pain you didn't herniate any discs. However if you still have sharp pain in two weeks get a MRI. Hair line fractures of the pelvis and hip start to show up after 10 days or more on Xray.
For now avoid anything painful and buy yourself a donut pillow to sit on. Don't use narcotics and go do something around the house. Like I would!!!
Best of luck

PS the injury will heal in about two weeks but your pride will take a little longer
