How To Cure A Bruise On The Right Side Of The Chest?
A week ago, I fell off my bike and got a bruise on the right side of my chest right around the top of my breast. The bruise was from the handlebar on the bike. Since then, I have discomfort to pain when moving, breathing, coughing, etc. Sometimes the pain extends up my throat to behind my ear. Motin helps, but once it wears off the pain comes back. How long will this take time to go away. Id like to get back on the bike, but don't want to make it worst. Thank you!
