Back injury --- please help!?!

Back injury --- please help!?

I need some help.
i was playing with my pet and i slipped badly and fell onto my carpet.
there was no crack heard in my back but for about 5 minutes, it hurt a lot to bend it.

that was like, 30 minutes ago.
it's feeling better but it still hurts. I'm scared of hurting myself more.

what can i do to ease the pain, help healing and what on EARTH did i do to myself?

you can ask me any questions you need to, i'll answer them... i'm just so worried.

PLEASE! help!

stupid me! I fogot to add it is in my mid-back and i can bend it well just there is some discomfort.
i would not call it pain.

it's much too late here for the ER and no one could drive me.

when my back is straight, it hurts not at all.
when i bend it, i feel some kind of discomfort in that specific area.

i did not break anything, i seriously doubt it. and i don't think i bruised a kidney. i know well where my kidneys are.

ice, ice, ice. Ibuprofin too. If it's still really hurting then consider an xray-could be a rib out of joint or cracked too...
