Suggest Treatment For Left Sided Rib Pain After An Injury

I fell off some scaffling this afternoon. "about 12 to 15 feet" This happened about 10 this mourning . I was in mild pain at the time around my left side. "ribs" I continued to work...around 1 the pain started to become severe, espially when lifting my left arm over my head. At the end of the day, I went to use the restroom and there was a good amount of blood in my urine. Now , the pain has resided a little but still hurts if I move fast or try to left arm up over my head. The last time I used the bathroom there was only a little blood in my urine. What can I do to help heal myself....I don't have insurance or money to pay for a hospital bill. I have been trying to fix my credit .... that is another reason I was trying to avoide a hospital visit. Any and all advice would be nice ??

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your problem the rib injury is very notorious injury does not get well soon, but no need to worry about it later or sooner this goes away, mean while this can be managed with any analgesic drugs and the best choice is Tab Acetaminophen with Diclofenac, this is the best combination and gives nice effect hope this information helps you take care, have good day.
