Brief Answer:
It can be a rib injury

Detailed Answer:
Hello, I have studied your case. Most probably you are having muscle pull or rib injury. But before I advised you any thing I would like to know little detail of the illness.
1. Did you had any injury to chest?
2. Are you also having cough or fever?
3. Can you describe me nature of pain in leg ?
please send me answers of these questions. I will try my best to help you.
Thanks

Brief Answer:
You may have pulled your muscle during coughing

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for replying. It may be possible that you have pulled your muscles during coughing. I would suggest you to follow these steps.
1.Hot water fomentation.
2.Volini gel local application.
3.Tablet Myoril or Myospaz one to two daily after discussing with your doctor.
4.Bed rest and avoid any jerky activity.
5.Antibiotics for chest infection and cough.
I hope these steps will take care of your breast site pain. I am still not clear about your leg pain. I am not sure which part you are talking about. Is is groin? From your symptoms it appears to be a muscle pull. I think above mentioned treatment will help in this also.
Thanks
