any rehab for a bruised lower back rib...??

Hi.. I accidently fell on the side of my bath tub. I had one leg out and one leg in when I slipped and my upper leg caught the three sliding door track and I have a major bruise (black and blue there) and I hit my left side hard on the wall somewhere. I have a very touchy sore spot on my lower left side just below the rib cage area. I have been wearing a back safety belt to support the area the last two days. It just seems to be more tender as the days go by.. I am going to the dr tomorrow for another reason. I am sure they will check it out.. but just curious as to what I have done. Thanks, swedone09
