How did it happen?: Falling out of bed with such force that 4 weeks later pain lingers is an unusual story! If your mental state was uncompromised (i.e. not inebriated) you should seek medical consultation to exclude seizure, etc. I can only presume that you experienced a severe contusion or even fracture of the rib(s) to still be causing pain. Doubt x-ray now would be helpful, but you should discuss with your doc.
