Hi XXXXXXX,
Welcome and Thanks for posting your query.
I shall advise you to consult an orthopedician for clinical examination added by at least basic X-rays to rule out any bony/spinal injury.
You may need preliminary USG (Ultrasound) abdomen too. Look in case of trauma, injury may have bizarre presentations and it is better to consult doctor for a clinical examination and have preliminary check up.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Do let me know if you have more concerns.
Wishing you good health...
Regards.
