Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. It might be some minor contusion. There may be some hematoma that have developed following the fall. As of now you can take analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Seratiopeptidase combination for pain relief. Apply warm compresses also. If pain persists, better to take an ultrasound scan to look for any hematoma. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
