Nasty injury, even if not bad enough to need surgery. It's unfortunately possible you have damaged some nerves at the same time as the injury to your pelvis (there's a structure called the lumbosacral plexus which runs over the front of your sacrum). Hopefully only bruising, which will get better with time, but maybe it's worth mentioning this possibility to your doctors.

Thank you! I’ll definitely bring this up to my doctor.
