If you have no difficulty in moving your elbow, knee and hip other than a mild discomfort then fracture or significant joint injury is unlikely. You can observe the symptoms, they may get worse a little bit in the next 24 hours after the fall but they should ease up after 1-2 days. If symptoms persist or get worse then you should see a doctor by then. Good luck.
