question: I fell down our wooden staircase inside the house last week. I hit my hind end on five steps on the way down. I put ice on it that evening, but now after the swelling has gone down the area really hurts to sit upon. I did not go to see a doctor, should I? It is bruised almost all the way across both buttocks. I did see stars about five minutes after it happened. Thank you. Pat Shepard
