Brief Answer:
Please see the detailed answer below...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Well, the pain could be due to immediate injury to the musculoskeletal system, for symptomatic relief, apply some cold compression over the area three to four times daily for the next 24-48hrs

Additionally, take complete rest...avoid twisting/bending the area, sit in an upright posture and, take a mild painkiller i.e. Tab PARACETAMOL 650mg twice daily after some food...

If despite this, pain continues, or you notice any additional symptoms like breathing difficulty, any increase in chest pain, excessive sweating/palpitations, any persistently increasing swelling, etc, then you need to get yourself thoroughly examined by a Chest Physician as well as get some investigations done (e.g CBC, Chest X-ray, 12 lead ECG, etc.), management can be done based on the findings...

Take Care
Kind Regards
