A member asked:
My 11 year old son complains of pain on the left hand side of his chest when he jumps and bends down. what could be causing that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Strain/injury: Pain in the chest at that age can typically be traced back to a strain or minor injury of the chest wall muscle. Avoid positions that make the pain worse. Take NSAIDS for antiinflammatory effect. Rest the area so healing can occur. Use alternating hot and cold packs to alleviate the pain. Talk to a Dr if the pain does not resolve in 2 weeks time or if your son experiences shortness of breath.
