Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely. Don't think directly about cancer. Get done chest x ray first. If chest x ray is normal then no need to worry for cancer or other lung disease. Avoid movements causing pain. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest. Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
