Proof my bones are still pretty strong.
I headed out to feed the kittens and for the FIRST time they were all sitting right in front of the door. I could open the door barely wide enough to squeeze through and lost my balance avoiding stepping on one of them. DOWN I went on the concrete steps, slamming my arm on the deck and my hip on the step. AND I dropped the food. 😫
After a few seconds of self assessment, I was back on my feet and scooping up the food. Well, briefly. The kittens headed in to eat the spilled kibble.
I've already got a nasty, vivid bruise forming on my arm and have yet to check my hip. I'll probably be pretty sore for a couple of days but at least nothing broke. Surprising, since according to my NP I am at that age where I am fragile and could crumble in to dust at any second.

You might consider getting a bone density test. They're easy and painless and take only a few minutes. I've had a couple of them.
That test will tell you how dense your bones are!
Remember, we're not 20 years old any more!
I can't count the times that I spilled food and had tons of helpers come running out of the woodwork to clean it all up.
So keep an eye on that arm. But great you only have bruises.
Please be careful, many mouths are depending on you.
SO two things, natural, that might help. Both herbs are somewhat caustic with over use but are just the thing when used properly. For the soreness of certain parts, I would use some kind of topical salve made with comfrey, it deadens pain while promoting healing. The other is a salve made with arnica for the bruising, helps the blood reabsorb, heals bruises much faster.
Keep both out of eyes and away from glands in neck and face... it tingles intensely when the effect wears off.
