A doctor has provided 1 answer
Evaluation: If you are in severe pain, please see the Emergency department and call your physician. Most likely the pain is related to chest wall Musculoskeletal pain. Taking ibuprofen and applying localized heat may help. Other causes though such as a pneumothorax should be ruled out. Please have a chest image and watch for signs of fever, distress and prolonged cough.
