Have I broken anything?

Have I broken anything?

I am 66 and slipped on the floor yesterday while vacuming and landed on my shoulder and left side.  I am sore today and had a coughing spell which hurt on my left side.  Is this something I should get checked out or just wait and see if it goes away.

Bruised or broken ribs will heal by themselves, without intervention, albeit slowly.

This doesn't sound like something to go to general quarters about.

There is very little treatment for this sort of injury except rest and pain relievers.
