What Causes Chest Pain On The Right Side?

Hi I have pain in my right chest. Last two months. Started I believe over exertion and I think it is Musco skeletal, It almost went away at beginning after a week then I went back to my excercise with 10 pound weights. Pain came back. Went to PT treatment with transdermal steroid pain went away. After 6 treatments I stopped PT then pain came back. I started pednisone not really helping. It feels like a bruise in in middle of right chest. Closer to sternum, originally it was in sternum. Moved out to middle. I am icing and heat alternatively 5 times a day, doing excercise for costrochondritis . I am worried it might be something else like tumor. Am I over reacting.

Hello,

Your concern for pain is genuine, but as per your history it seems to be more like musculoskeletal so relax give adequate rest for 15 days and then start the exercise of mild intensity like stretching. Please don’t do weight lifting for at least 2 months and don’t use steroid for such pain. Max to max you can take tab Voveran.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
