I Broke My 6th Rib And Cracked Another By Falling

I broke my 6th rib and cracked another by falling and hitting the side of the bath tub. When I went to the ER. I was very tender in front and side now I am even sorer in my back area. It's to the point I can't get out of a chair without help it hurts so bad. I use a pillow to hold things in place getting up and down and if I need to cough.

Should I be concerned about the pain moving that it could hurt another organ?

Thank you,
