Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain Under The Rib Cage

I fell in the laundry room about 4 days ago. I landed on my right lower hip area. My back and side did not hit the ground as the laundry basket saved part of my fall. Now I have a pain from my right back that goes around to right under my rib cage to my stomach on the right side. I am not sure how this area was affected in the fall. Is it possible to strain a muscle or even crack a rib that would cause this pain? Could it have jarred another problem that I might of been having? I am 62 5 3 142lbs. in better than average shape except for this pain that won t go away. The bruise on my lower hip area that I received after fall is still tender to the touch as well as my right knew that took most of the fall. Please help
