How Can Pain In The Chest After An Injury Be Treated?
Two weeks ago I fell off a chair while standing on it. The chair then fell on my chest. There was a little bruising on my right breast which is gone now. Im still very sore on the right side after 2 weeks, and it still hurts quite a bit when I cough or sneeze. I just assume I’ve bruised or broken a rib but I thought I’d be feeling better by now. Advice please

Hello,
It may be due to intercostal muscle spasm or possible with fracture ribs. Please get one x-ray chest AP view, avoid heavy weight lifting. Use muscle relaxant to relieve pain. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
