POSSIBLY: Provided your chest wall pain is musculoskeletal it should improve with Prednisone and as soon as 24 hours after the first dose. The differential diagnosis for chest wall pain may include cardiac & pulmonary sources, so a thorough history, physical exam & possible diagnostic work up with your primary care physician may be a appropriate place to start. Good luck!
