Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your situation and problem. You are having blunt chest trauma. And possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more in your case. So avoid movements causing pain. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. You will mostly improve with all these. But after 7-10 days, if you still feel pain, cough, shortness of breath than get done chest x ray to rule out internal damage. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
