Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely because your pain is associated with specific position and movement.
So avoid movements causing pain. Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest.
Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
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.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
