I Fell On The Kitchen Floor 2 Nights Ago -

I fell on the kitchen floor 2 nights ago - landed my rib cage on the floor - right side.
I am in excrutiating pain - taking the only allowed Ibuprofen as prescribed on the bottle but I seem to be getting worse if I don't double the Ibuprofen. I can only function standing up - other than that - I have to lay in the Lazy Boy. My biggest concern is taking more than 1200 mg of Ibufromen AND my belly is swelling so much although I have no appetite to eat? (And getting up and down from the toilet is an event in itself but I feel so constipated I think I just need to go with no success... but I'm not eating very much - an egg and some turkey slices so far today?)
Should I get to the hospital for x-rays?
