A member asked:
I'm having chest pain but it's painful to the touch. doesn't seem internal. could a blood clot cause this pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Musculoskeletal: If your pain is reproducible by palpation it is most likely musculoskeletal in origin. Depending on its exact location it may involve the intercostal muscles, ribs or sternocostal joints. It is not likely that a blood clot is causing this type of pain.
