A member asked:

Can musculoskeletal damage cause dull aching pain the chest?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Padmashri Rastogi answered

Yes. Depending on damage, it can cause sharp or dull pain. Inflammation in cartilage and bone junctions known as Costochondritis can also give rise to the pain in chest. Hope it helps.
