What Causes Bruise On The Left Arm?

I m a 71 yr old female. I fell on my left side hitting my shoulder and hip as I hit the floor. I was able to get up and can walk, but have pain when I sit. I have a bruise on my upper left arm. Is it necessary for me to get an X-ray to be sure nothing s broken? Or what should I do for the soreness?
