Is X-ray Advisable For Severe Pain In Ribs Post Trauma?

I slipped while cleaning the bath & fell on my front left side . I am 53yrs & not normally too concerned by pain but this is very painful & worse in the morning . I did the injury Saturday & this morning it feels worse than when I fell. Should I have an x ray ?
