Glad you’re feeling better! I fell last week and cracked my elbow and a rib but didn’t go ER. My self diagnosis. Still can’t put weight on the elbow! Thankfully cough is subsiding agony on the rib!
You should probably get that checked out just in case. I shattered the radial head and the ulna in my right elbow in 09 and the ulna had about 3 cracks in it. They showed really clear in the mri they finally did to see if anything was fusing 3 months later. You crack your elbow hard you can do something similar though probably not as bad if you can move it around without a lot of pain and everything still has full range of motion.
Cracked or sprained ribs take a while to get better too. Been through that when that Schizophrenic guy attacked me just before Xmas and I got knocked into my car door and he kicked me once. Pretty painful even though nothing was broken for a while.
Take care of yourself so you can enjoy your critters and family.
