The curse of the Scorpion

So last week I had the unfortunate event of a scorpion. I was flying down a cat track and decided to try to do a little nollie going into some pow... well the next thing i knew my weight was wayyyy forward and I went head over heels and ended up in that terrible position. The fabled scorpion left a mark on my helmet where my bindings slammed my helmet and my pole basically shattered my goggles. it knocked the wind out of me and after about 5 minutes, i was able to ski down and drive home. I eventually felt sore and a little bit of pain but nothing that ibuprofen couldn't fix. As funny as it looked (and i wish someone took a video), its been a week and it isn't very sore but there is occasionally pain but I feel confident enough to get back out on the slopes.
Should I go get checked out or should I be good to take a mellow day on the groomers?
