Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
It seems that you have suffered a soft tissue injury in the area due to the fall. You can take a mild pain killer and have rest for 2-3 days and if the pain still persists then you need to consult the orthopedician for X-rays.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
