Is It Important To Visit A Doctor For Post Traumatic Severe Pain In Left Side Of Body?
I fell on my back and when I was falling my left side hit a stand. It hurts badly and constantly, but more when I take big breaths or move around. Since I fell I have been breathing slower. Also My side that I hit on the stand is swollen. I'm wondering if I should see a doctor and what might be wrong with me.

Your symptoms suggest that you have fracture of one or more ribs.
Take one X-Ray of the chest.
If there is fracture consult Orthopedician and get his advice regarding treatment.
