What Causes Pain Under Rib Cage On Left Side?

I had this pain in the left side under my rib cage which causes agony whenever I bend down to reach something. It doesn t hurt when sitting down but sometimes when I walk my left side hurts. I believe that it was caused by a fall which ended up with my left side of my rib hitting the floor, strangely enough it hurt but I managed to carry on now all of the sudden it has got worse with not being able to put to much weight on my left side
