Sore stomach and ribs after falling

I had a pretty horrible fall on Saturday morning (trying to see the Aurora!) I fell going down a hill so couldn't stop myself and more or less body slammed the pavement. At first I thought I'd done damage mainly to my knee although I did really bad wind myself as well as the first thing I said was I couldn't breath!
As time has gone on my knee is less sore however my ribs are in agony as well as a really sore, unusual pain across my stomach which feels exactly like an IBS cramping pain. Could this be related to the rib pain or have I potentially also ate something that's not agreed with me? I've never hurt my ribs before so not sure what I should be experiencing. I've not been to A&E about it mainly as I think I'm ok just in a lot of pain but it was an old firm match here at the weekend, coupled with the hot weather and I think the hospital could be a bit manic! I'm keeping on top of painkillers and didn't think they were doing much but upon waking this morning with the pain killers having worn off, the pain was unreal. So they are doing something i guess.
Just really wanted to know if those who have hurt their ribs have also had this weird pain across their stomach?
