I fell the other day, now i get sharp shooting pains from my upper back through to my chest when moving a certain way. should i be concerned?

See below: Not possible to give precise advice without knowing the circumstances of your fall. Shooting pain from back thru to chest with movement suggests possible injury to an intercostal nerve that runs under each rib. If the pain persists beyond a few weeks you should see a physician.
