Strained a muscle in my chest once again what can i do to relieve the pain it hurts anyway i move or lay. any suggestion to heal the muscles faster?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Follow RICE, ie:: Rest, ice it, compression bandage and elevate. Decrease all movements to a minimum and take pain meds + a muscle relaxer for a few days. Support (with a hand or a cushion against the chest) when coughing or sneezing, to reduce the pain. If no better see your pcp.
