Is Swollen Feet Related To A Badly Broken Rib?

Fell from ladder 7 days ago. Saw ER Dr. and two ribs were broken. Side effect is right leg calf is swollen from being hit during fall, both feet swollen, particularly the one on the right. Calf had 4 square skin abrasion, and that was treated and I ve changed the bandage several times and skin is healing. Smaller one on left forearm and it has healed. What is at all is the significance of the feet swelling? Doctor and Pa s are not available on weekends and not easy to get to see in less than a week at best. I can arrange for that tomorrow, but concern is whether there is any immediate danger that cannot wait a week.
