Fell down stairs hurt lower back

Hi doctor/s, It's been 5 days I fell down from the stairs. I hurt my butt terribly. It's extremely swollen on my right and there are several blood clots. It's difficult for me to sit, sleep and walk. I'm afraid I hurt a bone as well. In such situation should I even consult a doctor? If yes, should I visit a physician or an orthopedic doctor.
