Chest pain that won't go away. i take advil (ibuprofen) and still have pain in back,chest,shoulder after fall. can it be heart after 8 months of pain?

Unlikely: Heart issues at your age are rare, especially in light of your fall history. May represent a rib fracture or spine fracture near thoracic nerve root . If not acute changes over the last 8 months, then schedule appointment with your doctor. If a sudden change occurs or shortness of breath develops then report to ER
