Chest wall pain?: Is limited the information that you provide and there are multiple reasons for a sore chest and the possible causes may varied depending of the location of the discomfort on the chest. A common cause is a costochondritis, which usually hurts in the anterior chest wall. Moist heat, posture-mechanics and anti-inflammatory medications could help. See your Primary Care for other causes.
