Worried about a pinched nerve after falling on stairs, tingling in left arm and leg?

I am worried about having a pinched nerve. I feel some tingling on my left arm and leg, although I have no pain. I fell on the stairs about 3 weeks ago and hit the left side of my back, near my waist. Who should I consult or is there anything I can do on my own?
