Hi,

I have gone through your query. It seems that you have musculoskeletal injury at the affected site. There is no need to worry about that and it will go away with time. Try some breathing exercise like deep and slow respiration. Along with it you can take analgesics like Ibuprofen. If your pain increases with time, you can go for a chest x-ray to confirm if there is fracture or not.


Let me know if you have any further questions.

Wish you a good health.
