Soreness Around The Breast, Difficulty In Breathing. Had A Pop Around The Breast After Shifting Heavy Objects. How Can Be Done For Recovery?

a week ago I was moving furniture in my bedroom and pushed with my body right under my left arm , close to the side of my breast and I heard something pop. I can breath okay but the muscles all around and under my left breast hurt really bad & I really can t afford to go to the doctor to see what I did to myself and if it is something that will just be sore for awhile I don t want to put out $100 just to have them tell me that I will be sore for awhile and to just take it easy

2.Diclofenac gel local application
3. Avoid lying on affected side.
