Twitching: I think this is from your fall. I suggest antiinflammatory medicine only if there is pain or swelling- urgent care is a good option if not improved within 48 hrs.

Fall: It will be best to go to urgent care and get an x-ray and make sure there is no evidence of fracture or worsening nerve or subcutaneous bleeding problems.

Try ice: If you can move everything and have no tender spots, you could start with ice and ibuprofen. If symptoms continue or worsen, go to see your regular doctor later this week.
