An aching pain is usually associated with chest wall inflammation. Musculoskeletal pain may be treated with local heat and ibuprofen, after discussion with your physician. The risk for PE should be addressed though. If in moderate pain,short of breath or feeling lightheaded, please see Emergency room right away.
