Hi
As it is confirmed you dont have fracture it is good.The pain is most probably due to muscular contusion you can do is apply local ice or analgesic ointment sleep on air bed and have strict bed rest.
Nothing more than conservative treatement is needed....it will take atleast 3 wk for the complete pain to subside.
Get well soon.
Thank you.
