Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Sorry to hear about this fall and the soreness. The best thing to do is to get some pain medications for this. If you have no problems taking Ibuprofen/Tylenol, try taking them as recommended by your physician to relief these pains. Also, applying ice packs to this area would also be helpful.

I hope you find this useful. I wish you well. Feel free to request for more information and ask ore questions should need be.
Thanks.
