Muscle strain: It sounds like you may have pulled a muscle or ligament in the chest wall. Chestwall strains hurt when you take a deep breath. It also hurts when you move your arms. Fortunately they improve rapidly with the help of some over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like advil, (ibuprofen) ice and gentle stretching.
