Any pain after trauma(fall from stairs in your case) with difficulty in doing routine activities should be evaluated, just to rule out if any bony injuries are there.
So I would suggest for an xray to be done
In the meantime avoid bending forward, lifting weights, sudden jerk or twist.
If the pain is near the tail bone- avoid sitting on hard surfaces, prolonged sitting .
Next Steps
Needs evaluation and investigation( Xray)
Health Tips
if tail bone pain- use coccyx cushion
start on some analgesic with muscle relaxant combination and cold pack .
