From : From your symptoms it sounds like you may have pulled a chest wall muscle. This will hurt. It seems that you will need to treat it as you would a muscles strain, ice pack, antiinflammatory medication like Aspirin or ibuprofen, rest - no lifting, excessive reaching, carrying, etc. Best wishes.
