Sólo el golpe
A couple of days ago I stumbled and fell climbing up a stair. When someone was worried about how bad I had been hit, I said "sólo fue el golpe", meaning that I felt I was alright and I didn't think I was seriously injured.

How do I say this in English?

I'm fine.
Only the landing hurt.

Sorry I don't know much Spanish to give you a perfect answer. If I had fallen and wasn't hurt I'd be more embarrassed than anything. The conversation would go like this. "Did you hurt anything?" "Only my pride..."

Well my book says golpe means blow. So maybe something like " It was only a scratch"?

"It was just the bump" or "just the bump"

Thank you all for the replies!

@David: Thanks! I was looking for a noun, but of course it's more suitable like that.

@Chris & Pollo: Thank you for the alternatives.

@Chris: Oh, embarrassment, yes. I'm usually cynical enough as to laugh at myself when I have this kind of accidents, but the man at the stairs was seriously worried and it was necessary to reassure him.

Only hurt me the hit.

As somebody said before
Only hurt me the landing.
