Anesthesiologist 's  Response
Hi, I have gone through your question. I am a practicing anaesthesiologist and pain consultant.
The extent of internal injury is depends on the force of impact at the time of trauma. We can't predict about internal injuries without physical examination and investigations.
According to your symptoms it looks like superficial muscle pain only, but still we can't neglect it. You have to undergo ultrasonography​of your abdomen to check for any internal injuries.
I would like to suggest, to consult a doctor, and go for appropriate investigations. Pain killers like paracetamol and tramadol will help to reduce the pain.
I find this answer helpful
