How to prevent chest wall pain.
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
1st, sort out basis: Chest wall pain: many origins; commonly recognized include: skin, intercostal muscles, cartilage (connecting ribs to ribs & ribs to sternum), pleuritic (chest wall inner lining and/or lining of lung surfaces), bone, esophagus, heart and/or within the lungs, & the list goes on. Step 1: learn the anatomy. & 2. Work on seeing what either induces or more clearly: what changes the pain, when present.

No way: You can get some chest wall pain and strain just from moving around. Most is of no consequence and responds to rest, stretching, massage, heating pad etc.
