What Causes Persistent Pain In The Center Of Breast Plate?

I was hit directly on the center of the chest six weeks ago by a falling & swinging tree limb measuring about 2 feet in diameter. The pain from the adjacent ribs and between my back/shoulder blades has been substantial until the first of this week, the sixth week. Yet, pain still persists in the center of the breast plate and across the back - QUESTION: What am I to expect pain wise and time wise? I am a very fit 73 year old six foot tall, 185 male. Your thyoughts please would be greatly appreciated. Gerald E. Kremkow Hawi, Hawaii YYYY@YYYY

Because your age is concern bony painmay take 15 days to 1 month duration approximately to heal completely if there isn't any breakage. And blood stained tissue will start to dissaper after a week and mostly dissaper after 2-3 week. Remaning discoloratiin takes very long time to dissapear.I thing u shoud seek advise from orthopedic surgeon to ruleout any bony defect. If nothing is there u need to take just rest for couple of week.
